The Women's March on Washington

Is on Saturday. Here's a helpful guide from the Washington Post.

'Here’s what you need to know about the Women’s March on Washington'

"The location: The stage will be on 3rd Street and Independence Avenue by the National Museum of the American Indian.
The program:
8 a.m.— activities start with images and video on display.
9 a.m. — pre-rally with speakers, music and public service announcements.
10 a.m. — the official rally starts, featuring celebrities including Katy Perry, Cher, America Ferrera and Uzo Aduba
1 p.m. — participants start marching toward The Ellipse where the program will end.
The March route: The group will begin to walk from the gathering location around 1 p.m. and march west on Independence Avenue SW, from 3rd Street SW, to 14th Street SW; then will turn north on 14th Street SW to Constitution Avenue NW; and will march west on Constitution Avenue NW to 17th Street NW, near the Ellipse and Washington Monument, where the events will come an end."

Wish I could go but I'll be there in spirit. Keep a sharp eye out for RW agitators everybody, O'Keefe's trolls have already been caught trying to encourage rioting.

Photo ops, potential for hustling, being call to comment on TV, radio. Trump has really increased the opportunities of the very ambitious self promoters.

They are really coming out of the woodwork.

And why not? The right has perfected the game with their massive book deals, television and radio networks.

It is a business.

Cynical a little bit maybe?

The wife and I are getting or protest shoes out. Not since the war have they been needed. The little one in Vietnam and the draft to inform.. May be should of before now, but didn't.

The last thing we want is to be on TV or Radio. Just a chance to get with other like minded and network.

Marches here in the Bay Area, believe my daughter is going to be participating from the signs she has been making. FWIW, I do not discuss Trump with my wife or daughter since they get way too negatively emotional over him and his antics.
