I am so thankful to have been there...<br /> There were so many beautiful signs there, and while it wasn't the most beautiful, there was one sign that simply said "PROVE US WRONG" that keeps flashing through my mind... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2685369 Mon, 23 Jan 2017 19:27:02 +0000 mrsrain 2685369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We marched in NYC and I was blow away by the turnout!

Sadly, I don't have any pictures of the crowd filling the open green and spilling out across the street.</p> <p>ETA: sign slogan is from a Wire and Honey shirt we love - we made a poster of it because DS' shirt didn't arrive in time for the march.</p> <p>@hummusgirl - wish i could have been in Austin. It looked incredible!!</p> <p>@purplepeony - I recognize that anassa kata -- I went to the other little school a short (blue) bus ride away. Sadly, I never heard anyone sing that song, and wish I had heard it before today. It is lovely!!</p> <p>[attach=5008/17/ok9440.505x568.Capture.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2685168 Mon, 23 Jan 2017 14:52:58 +0000 lioneyes 2685168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anagram i keep seeing the same (insane) argument: "name one right men have that women don't have". poor persecuted white christian males, when will anything ever go their way???</p> <p>@yogirunner @petitenoisette everyone commenting here is a patriot at the truest meaning of the word. We must take it back- to quote Teddy Roosevelt, "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2685137 Mon, 23 Jan 2017 14:16:58 +0000 LulaBee 2685137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Late to the thread- I marched in Chattanooga, TN with my husband, 2 daughters, mom, dad, and sister (and a handful of girlfriends). There were so many good signs! Ours said "Girls with Dreams become Women with Vision", "Keep Loving/Keep Fighting", "Still Nasty", and my 4 year old's said "because I matter" and "love". 1 year old had a tiny sign that said "I matter".</p> <p>Thank you to everyone who marched!!!!!!!!!! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2685132 Mon, 23 Jan 2017 14:12:52 +0000 Tidybee 2685132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: yes - I'm noticing they're all upset about the March because it didn't have a point and it was just people upset Hillary lost. Conway also said she didn't get the point. You have almost 3 million people protesting around the world because they're mad their side lost?!? .and we're the ones living in the bubble.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2684821 Sun, 22 Jan 2017 23:11:52 +0000 PurplePeony 2684821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BakersWife: Anassa kata!

He has the thinnest skin of anyone I've ever seen. Second, this both made me angry (these men are so offensive!) and laugh because they're apparently too dumb to realize that they're perfectly demonstrating why people marched and might as well wear signs on their foreheads reading "I'm the problem." :meh: <a href="https://mediamatters.org/blog/2017/01/21/my-shirts-arent-going-iron-themselves-conservatives-launch-attacks-women-s-march/215075" rel="nofollow">https://mediamatters.org/blog/2017/01/21/my-shirts-arent-going-iron-themselves-conservatives-launch-attacks-women-s-march/215075</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2684812 Sun, 22 Jan 2017 22:18:33 +0000 winter_wonder 2684812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: YES, exactly what you said. Trump supporters are going bonkers about the march. Sadly, I've seen just as many women posting anti march hatred on my feed :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2684777 Sun, 22 Jan 2017 20:42:37 +0000 Anagram 2684777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To everyone else that marched....If you have conservative friends/family on your social media. Does it seem as if they are all collectively losing their shit over this march?? I have seen a huge uptick in complaints about "whiners", and silly memes and conservative blog posts shared, all basically on the same theme: That they want everyone to be silent, basically. </p> <p>I have had a couple random haters comment on my post about marching. I could just block them, I know, but I think it's good they are exposed to my post about such an amazing event. So I don't block.</p> <p>I guess from one standpoint, it's been interesting to see the "machine" from the conservative side function. Obviously, the goal is to divide and conquer--so we have a brilliant, loving, successful, peaceful march of a million women, and then the Machine starts putting stuff out there about "whiners" and Madonna (quoted totally out of context) and a bunch of other random stuff, and it's instantly latched on to and reshared millions of times. I mean, it works, you have to give them that. They have successfully taught people to blindly believe and reshare without any kind of critical thinking.</p> <p>As for me, I am just getting geared up. I have all kinds of action items to work on this week.</p> <p>Keep up the momentum, ladies! And Remember, Remember, the 6th of November (2018). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2684681 Sun, 22 Jan 2017 13:46:45 +0000 Mama Bird 2684681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: ha. Well, I hope he gets 16% from everyone he hires for the next four years, and 84% goes to all the other citizens of our country.</p> <p>So many of my friends marched yesterday! So proud of everyone who did. I couldn't, but I kept thinking that behind every woman who marched there were ten who could not come but were with the marchers in spirit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2684669 Sun, 22 Jan 2017 12:57:21 +0000 Maysprout 2684669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another reason why the women's march was so important. This is what he thinks of working women. </p> <p>"You've got to give Donald Trump credit: he's everywhere, and everywhere he goes, he manages to offend in new and different ways. Take his quotes in the latest book by MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski, Knowing Your Value: Women, Money, and Getting What You're Worth. When asked about hiring working moms, the Donald replies skeptically, "She's not giving me 100%. She's giving me 84%, and 16% is going towards taking care of children.""</p> <p><a href="http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2071119,00.html" rel="nofollow">http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2071119,00.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2684653 Sun, 22 Jan 2017 12:00:03 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2684653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: You marched with one of my husband's good friends. I'm really proud of him because he is a single, typically soft spoken guy but he's smart and respectful and realizes it's not just about women but all of us! </p> <p>I knew I wouldn't be up for a large march due to my pregnancy but I found out about a local one last minute and I would have liked to have gone if I was feeling better. I love seeing all of these people united for equality. I knew they were all out there but it's reassuring to see at a time like this. Proud of all of you moms who were out there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2684620 Sun, 22 Jan 2017 10:12:44 +0000 BakersWife 2684620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: this is what my sign said too!

I am just blown away at how many people came out yesterday. 🇺🇸✊</p> <p>I think today would be an amazing day to take make a donation to a cause you support or do some other concrete political action.

Much better than staring at butts. :silly: @junebugsmama: The turnouts everywhere were so impressive! Whoa, both you mamas are strong.

I've found them to be a lot more comfortable/customizable to your needs than Ergos, Tulas, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2684555 Sun, 22 Jan 2017 01:18:33 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2684555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hony bologna: @Corduroy: that is so awesome the Walnut Creek march was so big! Honestly, I wish oakland was a bit smaller or I joined later and watched from the sidelines. We were stuck in the big mass of people and didn't get to see as many cool signs as I am seeing later on social media. Still, a very cool experience and so glad I brought my son. I hope my shoulder isn't killing me tomorrow! I used to wear him allllll the time but I kept injuring myself. He's 34 lbs at just two and was 30 at 1yo! Hard to make a carrier ergonomic enough for that! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/marching-roll-call/page/2#post-2684552 Sun, 22 Jan 2017 00:58:31 +0000 BSB 2684552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't march since I had to work but I really wish I had made a a stronger effort to try to go.
