In support of the Women's March in D.C., here's a list of SISTER MARCHES across the U.S.

and the world!

As with the D.C. event, women AND allies are encouraged to join together in the marches.

https://www.womensmarch.com/sisters/

Sister Marches are solidarity events inspired by the Women's March on Washington, and organized by volunteers around the world. If you can't make it to Washington, D.C. on January 21, join or host a Sister March near you.

It will be strange to return to Grant Park, where we stared in silence and shed happy tears that warm November evening in 2008, to take a very different approach at this event!

I'm hoping to have 3 generations of girl power together with me (me, my daughter-in-law, and young granddaughter), along with some lady friends (as well as my feminist husband) to share the experience.

The Women's March on Washington is not affiliated with the New York march is any way and we have serious concerns about that march.
