THE WOMEN'S MARCH- LOS ANGELES- 1/20/2017
I HAVE MARCHED MY ENTIRE LIFE.
STARTING WITH GAY RIGHTS IN THE MID- 70S- ANTI- ANITA BRYANT PROTESTS TO THE MANY ACTUP & QUEER NATION MARCHES IN THE 80S. THEN OF COURSE I PROTESTED AS LOUD AS I COULD- GW BUSH'S WAR IN 2003. THESE PROTESTS DREW HUGE CROWDS.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CROWD AS BIG AS TODAY'S WOMEN'S MARCH- LOS ANGELES!
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN ONE MILLION PEOPLE, (ORGANIZERS SAY- 750 THOUSAND). PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE CITY WAS DOWNTOWN, OR TRYING TO GET DOWNTOWN.
I TRIED TO CATCH THE METRO RED LINE @ 9:30AM. I WAITED AS 4 SUBWAY TRAINS PASSED ME WITH THE TRAINS SO FULL THEY LOOKED LIKE A TIN OF SARDINES!
I THEN WALKED TO THE #2 BUS ON SUNSET BLVD. WAITED FOR 2 BUSES, BEFORE I FORCED MY WAY ON THE BUS, MUCH TO THE DISPLEASURE OF THE BUS DRIVER.
WE LATER MADE UP.
WE LATER MADE UP.
I AM SO PROUD THAT I GOT TO WITNESS SOLIDARITY WITH MY FELLOW LOS ANGELELINO SISTERS & BROTHERS. THE ENERGY WAS ELECTRIC. EVERYBODY WAS IN A GOOD MOOD. EVERYBODY WAS OF THE SAME MIND-SET-
DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO END THE REIGN OF TRUMPWORLD.
DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO END THE REIGN OF TRUMPWORLD.
WITH CAMARADERIE LIKE TODAY- I AM SURE TRUMP'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED.
