We will rally throughout the US in numbers too great for the new administration to ignore on their first day in office. We will march and stand together in solidarity with our partners and our children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families -- recognizing that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country.

What I find very interesting and puzzling, is that those women who would attack their own gender for standing up for equality and rights are the same ones who now benefit from those like yourselves...who did the same thing in previous generations.
I just don't get it.
