What are you putting on your march signs?

[Bernadine]

I need one for me and one for dd.

[underwaterrhymes]

Mine says Stop Pretending Your Racism is Patriotism.

Anyone going in Chicago? My march partner is sick.

[glw]

I'm carrying this one:

[anodyne]

A friends DD did the women's restroom sign, then made her into Wonder Woman with a cape with "It was never a dress" written on it.

It was a homework assignment to make a protest sign!

[shortstax]

Resist. Vote. Repeat.

****

I use one of these for my protest sign needs:  www.amazon.com/Gold-Reusable-Handheld-Portable-Concerts/dp/B00SYZJTM8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516373564&sr=8-1&keywords=zipsign
 
It's nice because it rolls up to easily fit in my back pocket. I plan to take a dry erase marker in case I feel the need to change it up throughout the day (you know, in case Agent Orange tweets out nonsense during the day.)


ETA - deleted pic because it was HUGE.

[specka]

Our sign last year said 'Prove Us Wrong'. That didn't pan out. My 8 year old made one that said 'be kind to everyone' with glitter and smileys.

I'm meeting up with a bunch of people from my Indivisible Group. PM me if you want the details. Would love for you to join us!

Giant googlily eyes 👀 with WE’RE WATCHING YOU, CORY (with Mike Coffman on the other side.)  fuckyourcouch

[vicky]

[erbear]

I'd go with a simple Not My President (or Still Not My President or maybe Never My President)

[pitta12]

I'm going with "Repeal and Replace the GOP" on one side and "Register to vote: www.iwillvote.com" on the other.

[sonrisa]

I'm considering "Trump needs a Time Out" for the girls or  "You're a mean one Grumpy Trump" (trump as grinch)

"If you keep lying, you'll never be a real boy"  (Puppet Trump with Putin holding strings.)

'Don't talk about caca - Fix DACA'

Dreamers, not Screamers (photo of Trump yelling)

We're not having a March this year. The organizers decided to do an indoor event requiring tickets instead. Technically you can get them for free but it's really hard to figure out how on the site. However, very easy to figure out how to purchase the $100 or $20 tickets.

I think it's such bullshit I'm almost glad we're supposed to have a terrible snowstorm on Sunday.

Thank you!

I live up by the border of Wisconsin so I decided to go to the Milwaukee march since it’s closer and they have workshops scheduled.

Oooooo I might steal this one! 

Ollie made a sign last year that read "Be Kind" for when we protested the GOP in Philly- I'll probably have him use that one again.

I'm super bummed there isn't a march here this year - we had just gotten back from NYC and didn't go last year so I was looking forward to it.

[Bernadine]

I think I've decided on "I like taking naps and smashing the patriarchy" for dd. Still undecided on mine.

[RoxMonster]

I am putting some stats for the percentage of the House, Senate, city mayors, etc. that are held by women and then at the bottom: We need to elect more women.

On the back side, I am going to put something about going to vote with the dates of our state primary and the general election.

[goldengirlz]

I wonder how the turnout this year will compare to last year.

Either way, DD and I are pumped (and thankful it won’t be raining this year!)

[suburbanzookeeper]

It's our regional Girl Scout cookie rally and my daughter was dying to go, so I'm going there I am wearing my "A Woman's Place is in the Resistance" shirt, though.

[konapoppy]

This march still annoys me because I am sure a huge percentage of marchers from last year still haven’t actually done anything productive.

This is going to make me sound petty but I’m not going mostly because I’m bitter at how damn much I’ve done this year when it feels like people around me have contributed nothing but armchair critique. I’m going to treat myself to a nap instead.

[MrsAxilla]

Any shutdown sign ideas? “This Furloughed Fed stands with the DREAMERS”?

[sonrisa]

Still deciding:

"Chaos Theory: the only math Trump embraces"

"THIS is what Very Fine People marching looks like"


My daughter will carry: "I can't vote until 2028, You can vote June 5th"

This! We are holding a rally instead of a march. So many people are furious there is no march. I just read their posts thinking that I haven't seen them at any of the campaign events, voter drives, or anything! I know a dozen local campaigns that need volunteers. How about you march out to knock on doors instead, mmmk?

[MrsAxilla]

Okay here's ours. Mine is two sided, and Ben thinks hashtags are cool.

[pinkdutchtulips]

DD did No uterus, No opinion

I'm doing Protesting - Making America Great Since 1776 !

[vicky]

B sides

Yeah I agree. There are about 300 people listed as going on our march FB event. I do recognize a handful of names from campaign season last year and other events but most of them, no. There will be people doing voter registration here and some local women candidates for the upcoming election speaking, so maybe this will convince some of them to get out and do something this year. Maybe my optimism is really naivety. We shall see.
