I'm in the Resistance! On Saturday, Jan. 21, the day after the Con-Man-in-Chief was inaugurated, I marched in downtown Lexington, KY, among at least 5,000 people who held signs in opposition to what is happening in D.C. , as the new president's actions will undoubtedly negatively affect all of us everywhere in the country.
Tresine and Matt held a cocktail party the night before for like-minded friends, and then on Saturday Audrey, Lucy, Tresine, Matt, and Eloise and I piled into the car with our homemade signs to travel downtown to join in the march (Isabelle was at an all-day speech contest, in which she placed first in storytelling.) The Indivisibility march was 2 hours of exhilaration and hope. Actions by our Indivisibilty group to pressure our KY legislators in Washington are planned throughout the first 100 days of this catastrophic administration.
The Washington, D.C. march was at least 500,000 strong; it and most of the marches in solidarity throughout the country saw more participation in the streets than expected, sometimes far more. And I've heard of no violence involved in any of them.
Below Lucy and I arrive at the march. In the second photo are Tresine, me, Audrey, Eloise (in cat hat,) and Lucy.
Love, Sylvia
