I seriously considered going to this. I would've had a flight paid for me. But the logistics of finding a place to stay scared me off not to mention work and stuff. But I'll be participating my local March anybody going to theirs?

I'm disabled, and waiting for more information from my local march, which looks to be across what is a thirty to forty minute stretch by car.

There is supposed to be a disability-accessible version of the march, so I'm hoping that's actually the case, and not some "helpful" able-bodied person... well, if I had a quarter for every time I'd seen a perfectly well-meaning able-bodied individual create something supposedly accessible that was absolutely not, I could probably take my entire family out for a $200 dinner.

But I'm watching for more info. I really want to go, but I can't wreck my health over it. :(

I think I'll go to Idaho's. I was put off by the initial non-intersectionality of the march, but it looks like the organizers stepped up to the plate.

Teens sending vagina lollipops to Trump, though.

I won't be able to get to DC but going to local march in NYC.

Yeah, that sounds like something Trump would like, actually. At least some of the money is going to PP, but... yeah.

I know, I had mixed feelings about that one, too! If nothing else, it should at least be something of a nuisance, having all those things delivered to the Trump Tower--2200 so far, which is a LOT of packages. But that's more of a problem for the staff there than the Trumps. But I appreciate their spirit and willingness to get in there and at least try to do something, even if it's maybe not the most ideal choice.
