2.5 million participants worldwide.
So proud of my wife, out participating today.
Bigger in DC than Trumps inauguration crowds.

My daughter, a middle school math teacher, walked the mile from her apartment to the center of the Denver March, 100,000+ strong. Her mother and I are so proud of her taking a stand for her convictions.
The initial statement today from the press secretary was an embarrassment.

Here's a note from one of the local news services:
Here's how big today's women's march in Seattle is: The front reached Seattle Center (the end) before the back had left Judkins Park (the start). That's a distance of a 3.6 miles.
That's a lot of women (and there were a lot of men, too).

I participated in another L.A. "Sister" event (couldn't get downtown). Tons of friends downtown and some in DC. Today in L.A. you could see the SNOW on our local mountains...30 years ago they would have been shrouded in smog...last few years there wasn't really even any snow...and these f*ckers in Congress are already trying to stop Califonia from regulating emissions in our own state...
Sean Spicer was disgraceful but what did anyone expect from a Drumpf mouthpiece? We have entered "1984".

I'm guessing alimony or Oprah funded the flights.

I still want to know they didn't want my disabled decorated Air Force veteran bro-in-law, who
flew 2000 miles, to participate with his daughters and wife in the DC march. Shameful. I know
you won't believe me but his radical daughter has been lighting up Facebook about this.

I love humor in the face of adversity, so the "we shall overcomb " sign really made my day. Thanks for posting.

Yesterday was depressing but today was inspiring. America will be great again! (As soon as Trump is gone).
My wife and her friends marched in Fresno today! And here's my awesome mother-inlaw today in Ketchum Idaho.

When my bro-in-law showed up march organizers told him only one family member could walk
with him. There were some other caveats, too. Trust me, my niece is a major league person in
the violence against women world and she is really pissed off.

If it's a ticketed system, then it's reasonable to limit to one non ticketed helper. If not, anyone should be allowed to participate.
Was this the actual march or some transportation or designated area/group issue?
Obviously, anyone can march.
I think were missing some key details here.

Reilly's post makes no sense. I'm in SF and thousands of people are coming and going in all directions. There's not a chance anyone would tell you what you can and can't do. March organizers? Huh? All I see are throngs of people having a good time.

LOL, Brennan, relax. If it's something like a bus designated for the handicapped, then it makes sense that one person per disabled be allowed. Otherwise, you would just be limiting the number of handicapped that could attend.
We are missing some key details here.
Any number of people can walk beside a wheelchair. No one is going to stop that.

We're not missing anything, you retard. As I said, my niece's bona fides
as a major player in the violence against women movement gives her all the
street cred she needs to know when somebody is being discriminated against.
So shut yer holier than thou know it all moronic mouth.
