In Vancouver the focus was on indigenous people and their issues. It was incredible and recreated a sense of community and connection. It was wonderful to be out marching with three generations.
I noticed this too - my local march had an inter-sectional focus, as the main speakers were Latina, Muslim, American Indian, and African immigrant. It was really wonderful.

lololol the Harry Potter reference with “Lord Damp Nut”. We’re blessed to have so many creative, funny, brave, courageous women and men and children in our country. I very much needed to be reminded of that.
