Had a great time on the Women's March in NYC, though I never got to 5th Avenue. Started at Grand Central Terminal at 10:30 AM and walked up to 45th and 2nd Ave to Dag Hammerskjold Plaza - BUT there were so many people that we were stalled on 45th...and finally turned around to go back to 42nd St. But that took 4 hours....Finally got back to Grand Central at 3:30 and got out of the "holding area" and walked to Fifth Avenue....but so crowded that there was no way to march to Trump Tower.

Here are some images and a VIDEO so you know what it feels like to be in the MIDST of a MARCH that is so filled with people standing up for their beliefs that it was difficult to move. I am so proud of this peaceful demonstration where there was no violence and only a feeling of deep camaraderie among the participants.

I so wish I was there for this! Women got the right to vote through the same peaceful "standing up" . Thank you for being my voice! Maureen c
