Power, Thy Name is Woman!
If only Shakespeare could
attend the wondrous Women’s March in downtown San Jose on January 20, 2018, the
Bard would permanently terminate the association between frailty and women.
The thousands of marchers
who poured onto the streets across the San Francisco Bay Area on Saturday would
recognize one fundamental truth in these dark times under Trump: It is the
women of America who will boot the immoral and incompetent Trump and his sycophants out of office
soon.
I joined thousands of men
in downtown San Jose to march alongside the women who outnumbered us almost 4
to 1. We chanted, “Hey Hey, Ho, Ho, Donald Trump’s Gotta Go!”
When a speaker declared, “It
is the women of color who must step up and the Caucasian women who must step aside
to take America back from Trump and the Republicans,” everyone – women, men, Caucasian
and of color, roared their approval.
More women will be running
for office than ever before, from local and state all the way to Congress and
Senate, in the upcoming mid-term election on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. Support your
local women democrats and raise funds for them.
Listen up, men! This is our
chance to redeem ourselves. We turned out to be lazy, careless and fickle. Women
will lead the way. Take America back from the fascists. Vote for the women in
your district. Walk the precincts, knock on doors, donate money and time. We
cannot afford a Republican-dominated Congress and Senate one moment longer.
Most of all, we cannot allow a treacherous, reckless and loutish Trump disgrace
our nation and take us back to the Dark Ages. Help boot this bum out of office.
Let the protest signs tell the
story of the stirring Women’s March in San Jose that I was privileged to
attend and photograph on Saturday, 20 January, 2018.
