April 28th - The March Against the War On Women.




Hello my dear Suffragettes and Suffragents!



Tomorrow is almost here, and it will mark the most important event of the year for us: The Unite Against The War On Women March! On Saturday, April 28th, we will be marching all over the U.S. to protest the War Against Women. People from all over will be coming to watch, march, and offer their support as we raise awareness about the restrictions that have been placed on us since 2010.

I don't know about you, I am definitely excited! I wish I could be there in person, but, unfortunately I'll be up here in Canada. So I will be with everyone in spirit, watching, looking for news, sharing throughout the day what's going on.

Now, when you march, hold your head high, ignore the haters. They just want a reaction from you so they can run and tell everyone how we're all violent, high-strung left-wing daydreamers who want attention. It only takes one to make that happen. So, let's march with class, march with dignity. And for every step you take on this march, remember this: The women and men who marched before you all had haters and abusers trying to trip them with every step. They got through it and WON. We can do the same!

I've noticed on Twitter that the Trolls have come out in full force. - THIS MEANS THEY'RE SCARED. They're realizing the we mean business! Again, ignore, press that wonderful 'block' button, alert your Twitter pals and stay safe, even online!!

So, here are some links you will need if you are wondering how to participate, watch, or even just learn about what we're fighting for:

Those links will tell you when, where and what is going on. I hope to hear that thousands upon thousands of you showed up all over the country! PLEASE make sure to remain safe. The organizers of the events are encouraging people to remain passive. Should someone come up to you and start bullying you because of the march, try to avoid them, or yell out for help (especially if they touch you). Don't get involved in a fight, that will take away from the meaning of the event!

As a reminder, as well, if you are going to be tweeting from the events, please use the hashtag: #UAWOW.

And please! Tweet me pics! I'm going to put a slideshow together for the blog of all the pics sent to me and share it on the blog! Make sure to let me know if you give me permission to use any pics with you in them. If you wish to remain anonymous, I will be more than happy to blur out your face for your protection and privacy :)

So, good luck my friends, we're going to make HISTORY tomorrow! (Or should I say HERSTORY!) My heart and best wishes will be with each and every one of you, and I will be tweeting my heart out tomorrow! Send me some inspiration!


And again, You all inspire me, you educate me. I am grateful :)

And just one more time (because it's so important!) STAY SAFE!

Please feel free to comment, as to be informed, you must have information! Debate is welcome, trolls and abusers will be dealt with swiftly!


With the Utmost Respect,

An Ordinary Woman
