Boy am I fired up! I'm mad at our country, mad at the Great Orange Beast that is running it, and mad at the injustice that he stands for. Again, I felt like I needed to take action. I have called and emailed numerous senators, signed petitions and marched. I will continue to fight and luckily for me, I raised three mini fighters as well. We will not stand for people to be persecuted, for people less fortunate to be bullied or for women's right to be taken (not to mention a laundry list of other items). Hell NO! It blows my mind that people voted for that arrogant, racist, xenophobic, son of a bitch. He has no business running our country.
I was debating about going to the Women's March in Asheville but they were estimating 10,000 people were going. While I would have loved to be a part of something that big, Emma wanted to march too. I felt it was important that she come with me so we chose to go to the Black Mountain Women's March.
It was perfect. All the badass women of Blk Mtn marching together. I felt a real sense of community and was so proud to walk with friends and neighbors. They estimated that 600 people came to the march. That is a lot considering we only have a population of 7,000. I was so proud of my little town.
My little activists making signs
We had some really great talks. My kids will always be champions of the underdog.
Em even made her own sign. I LOVE it
The Blk Mtn Women's March
It began in the town square
The town bear was proudly wearing a "pussy" hat
I will teach her to be strong, to be loving and that she has a powerful voice.
I marched for her

This was from the march in Washington but I had to steal it :)
