Let’s have a few more photos
from Saturday’s Women’s March on Washington. Because some of these signs—and all of these men and women—are just da
bomb.
Once more—the scene on Seventh
Street:
Some of the observers around
the National Archives:
(Focus in on that sign in the center.)
Representatives of Alexandria,
Virginia:
One of the many shout-outs to
the Ladies of SCOTUS:
And a lady of a different
sort:
And a few more:
Sunday, on my way back from an
appointment I stopped off at NKD Pizza in Arlington to get lunch/dinner (pizza
goes a long way in my house). I was trawling through SoMe accounts of the march
and didn’t hear when the pizza-maker with a possibly Israeli accent called me
(I was one of three people in the place). When I finally woke up and took the
box, he asked me if I’d been at the march.
I don’t think he could have
seen what I was looking at on my 5” smartphone screen, so maybe it was the Women
in Military Service Memorial shirt I was wearing. Or possibly it was just a
shot in the dark. But I said I had indeed marched. So had he.
“People think it was only for
women,” he said. “But I marched, too.”
“Good for you. Women’s rights
are everyone’s rights,” I replied. I did not add, “Power to the people.” But I
may begin to add that to my conversations.
Because that is what this is
about: who's going to hold the power in this form of government.
