it's been forever since I've been to one, but all have been phenomenal. Have made long time friendships that inspire me at each one I have attended.

Let's meet for a beer and nosh after the march. Squinch and hopefully Priyanka should be there.

March ends at Trump Tower likely late afternoon. A bit of an expensive location, to be sure, so may need to choose some place a bit more on the fringe, where we can hopefully have a table. Nancy Whiskey down by the Holland Tunnel worked well years ago.


Sat has purse size restriction- 8x6x4" or else has to be clear no backpacks large bags unless clear



March starts 11Am at Dag Hammerskold Plaza
**it was moved from Union Square location***
East 47 2nd/1st Ave
Hope to update w Route Info

Will add website info for NYC.
If you look at the part w "more info" it's explained location was changed after 11/28.

1. Ok. I'm in. Please keep me on the updated lists. Can you send a link?

Not sure where to find one to the NYC march.

[bettyellen]

3. I need to re register as I misspelled my email and so didn't get the details.

From what I had heard it was starting around the UN and somehow ending up at Trump Tower. Will keep everything to this thread and also PM info to whoever requests it. It's awesome meeting the faces and lives behind the names here- sort of like a reverse masquerade party.

Women's March on NYC
by Katherine Siemionko

January 21, 2017
March times will be staggered starting at 11:00 am. See FAQ for more info.

Where
1 Dag Hammarskoljd Plaza
48th St. at 1 st Ave.
New York, NY, 10017

The march ends near Trump Tower where we will all have a chance to raise our voices and let the new administration know we are here to protect and guard our civil liberties. Under no circumstances will any sort of violence be tolerated. Channel Ghandi. Channel Martin Luther King. We are in this for the long haul. It's important to keep this non-violent.

[bettyellen]

6. Yes! The Plaza runs from 47-48 and 1/2 aves I think....

Hoping to find the route and update with that later.

Thanks!

[lindysalsagal]

7. OK. I'm taking the 1 train to 50th street station and walking east. Anyone wanna join me?

I'm starting at the 231st st station where I know where to park.

[lindysalsagal]

9. I just connected with a friend who's leaving from the 231st station.

[bettyellen]

11. I never decide on bus vs train till I look at traffic so I'm not so reliable-

We can exchange numbers via PM and find each other at some point that way.

[Sanity Claws]

30. I live in that area!

Hi Lindysalsagal.

I live in Kingsbridge/Riverdale and get on the 238th Street station on the 1. Let me know if I can meet you and ride down to 50th together. We can PM each other with contact info if you are interested.

Are you driving down from Westchester? or are you in the Riverdale area?

[lindysalsagal]

31. Hi. I'll pm my phone.

I don't know what time we'Re joini ng the park. We'll get an email the day before. I can tell you when we'll get on the 1 train. We could wait on the subway platform on 50th st.

[bettyellen]

32. Love this! *kicking thread!*

[TrekLuver]

2. I've seen 2 different places where the march is happening in NYC..one is starting at Union Square

and I can't remember where the other one is starting right now. Are they separate ?? Will they both be converging on Trashpot Tower??? Any info would be great....but I've already cooked up my sign and I CAN'T WAIT TO POST PICS

[bettyellen]

4. Look above and also I will be updating the OP with details and links so bookmark it!

[TrekLuver]

8. Thank you!!!

[bettyellen]

19. Squinch is going to update w Union Sq info on Friday....

I will keep this and Lounge thread kicked and ask people to go over to the (easier to find) NY thread for last minute updates. Yeah, I have theee threads.

[bettyellen]

10. Kick!

[Squinch]

12. Kicking! The one I have been planning to go to is the Union Square one. I'll see if I can

get details on the route.

But I'll be there!

[bettyellen]

13. Are there two in NYC on 1/21? Because the "official sister march"

Only has this one listed.
Regardless we can meet after!

[Squinch]

14. Going to sleep now, but I'll look for details on this tomorrow.

[TrekLuver]

21. I saw the Union Square one as well. Please advise any info...

[bettyellen]

23. Am looking into that- will update the thread in the NY state forum ASAP

[bettyellen]

24. Just read the location was changed and tickets issued for a rally in Union Sq are incorrect.

If you look at the part w "more info" it's explained location was changed after 11/28.

[TrekLuver]

25. Thank you I registered....but what is this with the tickets...you need a ticket???

[bettyellen]

26. No- I RSVPed but I know that's not necessary either. Maybe there was a smaller rally planned at US

And they needed to try and contain it. I maybe a bit late and joining in some part of the route. Hope to get a map of that soon.

[TrekLuver]

28. Here is the map. They said they are staggering the start times because of the volume.

https://thehumanfirstsociety.org/faq/

Ummmm this is looking pretty massive.

[bettyellen]

29. Thanks! It's going to be amazing! I need to figure out a way to post that map.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. I'll be there

[bettyellen]

16. Oh the party can start now! Posting all the way from Goa just for little

Ole me?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. I'm back from goa to Kolkata !

[bettyellen]

18. Well you just put a big smile on my face!

I decided I needed this and likely many of us here do too.
A lot of us have given up friends over this Trump crap and need some goddamn solidarity.

[bettyellen]

[bettyellen]

35. I am PMing people w location details- were at about a dozen now!

[lindysalsagal]

37. Getchur pink hats, ladies!

I'm going out for a pink foamboard tomorrow.

Trying to decide the wording.....I'm thinking "Women's issues are America's issues."

Eternal, positive, not open to misunderstanding or excuses.

[bettyellen]

39. Added info on purse restrictions

[bettyellen]
