Greetings from Portland’s Women’s March

Posted by Amanda Painter

In Portland, Maine, we had an estimated 10,000 marchers (another 10,000 marched in the state's capitol), stretching almost an entire mile down Congress Street. Energy and friendly vibes were high; signs were mostly positive and inclusive with some 'anti-Trump' thrown in. The crowd was diverse (for Maine), with many pro-women men joining the pussy-hat-clad. Hopefully I'll be adding more images to this post later in the day. Photo by Amanda Painter.

Many youngsters had made their own signs; no doubt they will make their mark in other ways, too. Photo by Amanda Painter.
