All the kids who spoke did such an amazing job. The 11 girl and MLK's granddaughter impressed me so much.
"I am here to acknowledge & represent the African-American girls whose stories don't make the front page of every national newspaper, whose stories don't lead on the evening news," says Naomi Wadler, an 11-year-old from Alexandria, Va. https://t.co/jujbxM0M4i#MarchForOurLivespic.twitter.com/3lLhpHhDby
So many of them impressed me! You could feel how emotional they all were speaking.
I still can’t believe Samantha Fuentes vomited on live tv then came back and finished her speech like a champ. And she still has shrapnel in her face from the shooting, no wonder this is overwhelming to her!
^ What everyone above said. Make sure your friends and family get out there and VOTE for good candidates in November. A good turnout for candidates who support gun reform is by far the most important thing right now because with congress the way it is right now there's only so much we can do.
having attended both, idts. tbf they were held in totally different areas near the mall but the women's march had an INSANE number of people, like every bit of the mall and the surrounding streets were just absolutely packed. this one was a lot easier to navigate, although I also think it was much better organized. the women's march went on too long imo and half the jumbotrons were broken, and there was a lot of ambiguity about where to go/where the actual march was taking place and they clearly weren't expecting THAT many people
I went to the Tampa one and it was overwhelming. It was organized by students and the only adults who spoke were the mayor and Rep. Castor. An MSD survivor came and spoke, kids performed poetry and music and made speeches. I am truly floored by these kids and feel proud of them, but so unbelievably sad that this is what it's come to. There were kids of all ages marching today and it was incredible to see.

weeping over here
I’ve been kind of out of the loop on this one but I want to help.
Barbara Comstock will not be re-elected if I can help it.
Dana Loesch having a stroke rn
This is so cute. I've loved their response since the NRA tried to use a P&R gif.
I'm so happy they consider Bobby Newport to be part of the gang lol.
