Women's March in Sacramento and Worldwide Number Millions

Lottie Kendall The outpouring of love was incredible, and I didn't witness any violence. People were extremely polite, too, especially if they bumped into you. And it was fairly crowded. It was unusual to hear people saying, "excuse me," or "I'm sorry." But that's the kind of group it was. It's very representative of half of our country.

Jeff Dowler There were organized transportation services available in Sacramento to get people to the Sacramento Women's March. I was one of the lucky ones who live in Land Park, so I had no excuse not to walk the six blocks to the beginning of the Women's March in Southside Park. Although, by the time we reached the Capitol and stood for a long time, my back was beginning to give out.

Myrl Jeffcoat The numbers for the Sacramento Women's March doubled from original estimates. They originally thought 10,000 would march but more than 20,000 showed up. Also, the original estimates for D.C. was 200,000 and more than 500,000 people participated there.

I would not compare it to Woodstock, though. Unless you somehow found yourself stoned out of your gourd, naked and sleeping in flooded tent. LOL.

Michael Jacobs Lots of supporters brought their dogs. My brother's dog was a shar pei, and he was so in love with that dog that after the dog died, he never adopted another. Said he could not bear the pain of loss ever again.

Noah Seidenberg I hear in Chicago they had to cancel parts of the March because the crowds mushroomed to astronomical numbers and they could not accommodate that many people. There were many signs promoting love over hate. Very peaceful group.

Andrea Bedard I only have 2 marches in Washington under my belt, but if it wasn't for my hectic travel / vacation schedule, I certainly would have been there with you. It seems odd that we are still marching for the same things that were once somewhat settled and now are back. I have to look at the calendar to see what year this is.

Victoria Henderson Marshall Henderson Lucky you guys. I mean it's still a ways to DC from Bethesda, but at least you were within commuting distance. I bet it was cold there, too. Still, I would have loved to have locked arms and felt the inspiration in D.C.

Jane Peters Yes, that's what I heard. Around 750,000 people marched in Los Angeles, vs 500,000 in Washington D.C. But my heart for marches tends to lie with our nation's capitol. I'm not much of marcher myself but I did attend two historical marches in D.C.

I think human rights transcends the normal political meaning.
