6. I was there with my husband (he is such a great feminist!)

we got there about 1 (after the march and partway into the rally) mainly because I get a little anxious around crowds and I physically cannot stand or walk for long. But it was still packed!

It was peaceful and when I did see police it was more of a traffic control issue. Great discussions were had waiting and while on the light rail. I was impressed at all ages, all race/ethnic groups, genders and so much positive energy!

Can I just say how much I love being a Minnesotan? I love that the updates included the weather (warm in the 30's - only up north is 30 warm), what type of footwear because of snow, and of course lots and lots of port-a-potties.

Yesterday I was so defeated - today I felt real hope!
