WOMEN'S MARCH 2019 announced.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/29/us/womens-march-2019.html

After the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh advanced on Friday to a vote by the full Senate, organizers of the Women’s March said messages came pouring in.
People were “enraged,” Linda Sarsour, a chairwoman of the Women’s March, said on Saturday.
“Our email inboxes were full: ‘Women’s March, where are you? When are we marching? Tell us when? Tell us where?’” she said.
Jan. 19, 2019. That’s when they plan to hold a third Women’s March, bringing the main demonstration back to Washington, where it was first held. There is still much to be done: Organizers are determining what route to take at the march’s center in Washington, and are working to get needed permits. If the 2017 march was any indication, the demonstration has the potential to draw hundreds of thousands of people.

RESISTANCE IS PATRIOTISM!

1. Break the glass ceiling

Hillary Clinton tried to break the glass ceiling by being elected President. That did not happen. But on Inauguration Weekend one million women ( I think ), marched through the streets of Washington D.C. To me that was so fantastic. I need to see the next march be even more fantastic as it can mark a tipping point in American politics. That being where the "good old boys" do not run the government anymore. Break the glass ceiling here. For our future.
