No doubt we all enjoyed viewing lots of photos from last Saturday’s “March For Our Lives”. So this will be a review for most of those photos – but I thought we should memorialize such a huge event whose impact is still sending ripples across our country.
But there were so many to choose from I decided, that for better or worse, I’d do it as a slideshow to save on “real estate”.
The first slideshow is of the crowd in Washington, DC – clearly the largest one of the over 800 rallies that took place across America.
But DC wasn’t the only site – so here are a few of the other ones.
I should have captioned each one – but it was time-consuming enough just to select, organize and format as slideshows all the photos to begin with.
But to help out, they’re alphabetical. The first one is of Albuquerque – it’s the one with the kids in the front with their backs to the camera all dressed in black t-shirts with their arms around each other.
Albuquerque
Anchorage
Boston
Chicago
Colorado Springs ?
Fort Worth
Montpelier, VT
NYC
NYC (White angels)

Parkland, FL
Rochester, NY
St. Paul
The last slideshow is of some of the signs I really enjoyed. No doubt everyone has a favorite, so feel free to share it – or a link to it in Comments.
(Because the “Hyperbole, Assholes” one (my favorite!) is quite tall and the photos are centered vertically, it skews the formatting. And it’s a little slower and bigger to help reading them)
There was a Tweet showing huge Los Angeles Crowd in a Video

And CNN had a Great Video of Aerials of Lots of Cities
Unfortunately WordPress doesn’t accommodate embedding CNN videos – so I’ll just provide a link to it

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
In Sonoma, CA, we had a very large turnout of people for the MARCH FOR OUR LIVES in front of the City Hall. Considering that Sonoma has a population 0f 10,00+/-, I estimated the crowd to have been 800+/-. I was very pleased with the turn out. Other people were there in support of EARTH DAY as well. lol.
As for the posters as viewed in the article, I didn’t have a favorite. I did, however, found them to be quite creative in their wordings.
Thanks for the Friday Fun Show.

Timely and well done, Nameless. Thank you!

Beautifully done, Nameless. You got almost all of my favorite signs, including my ABSOLUTE favorite (How I would have loved to be that little old lady in the wheelchair … but I and my wheelchair were otherwhere.) The only one I might add is “The only thing that should be fired in a school is Betsy DeVos.”
Got to agree with you … almost. (Still going with the “Hyperbole, Assholes”)
But the Betsy DeVos one has gotten SO much coverage I decided to hold off.
(Maybe we’ll pique their interest, if they haven’t seen it, by NOT posting it.)
Excellent, excellent!! post! Nameless
Austin was packed, the numbers I heard was at or around 20K for the rally.
My favorite is, ‘We are the Ones We’ve been waiting for.”
*Joanne: Most teachers agree with the poster that you mentioned in your comment about DeVos. I’ve asked a few of my galpals about how they feel about her, and they either give me a pained eye roll, a cuss word or the middle finger. About her, not to me. lol.
Awesome post, and Thank you, Nameless,
and to Joanne for cross-posting.
A march well remembered; 1.2 million mainly young people united for a common cause. That should lift anyone’s spirit. Unless you are right-wing ammosexual of course.
Thank you for spending the little time you have to make this splendid overview, Nameless. I loved all of the signs you picked for your slide show.
