I confess I am a bit skeptical of the effectiveness of marches /on their own/, especially if they don’t focus on specific demands.
I remember going to the massive marches against the Iraqi war, which obtained absolutely nothing.
I fear the only message that the powerful will get is “I hate Trump and I will vote for whatever fascist-lite you put against him in the next election”.
Marches don’t have a great historical record of stopping fascism.
Still, I wish you all the best, I hope you mingle, find others you can team-up with, and that I’m wrong.
Holding down the fort while my mom’s in the hospital, but I’ll be with you in metaphorical spirit. Give ’em hell.

Ironically, this also the last day of the CPAC meeting.
Marches show people they are not alone. And the anti-Trump organisers have stated the marches are just a part of the effort.

I am at home in Sweden with a severe cold, but I am with you in spirit.

Good luck and be safe.
