    logo_womensmarch2Sedona AZ (January 12, 2019) – Organizers of Sedona Women’s March have announced the 3rd annual march for January 19, 2019, starting at 1PM.  Marchers will gather at the National Bank of Arizona, 1470 W State Route 89A (by Whole Foods) in West Sedona and march to Vino di Sedona, 2575 SR89A, to rally there, on the back patio. 

    The march has become an annual event following the 2016 presidential election, with marches taking place in cites all across the nation.  “We marched in 2017 in response to the anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-tolerance climate that had developed during the presidential campaign and for the need for women to be stand up, be visible, and get active.  Now, in 2019, we have 102 women in Congress, an all-time record, but its still less than 25%.  We still have a long way go,” said Kathy Kinsella, one of the march organizers, then and now.

    Since the original march, which was part of a national movement of marches all around the country, there has been a surge of activism that has resulted in new organizations being formed and in a record number of women and progressive candidates running for political office at every level – and winning.  

    “We are at an all time high in terms of representation, and great strides have been made in diversity among elected officials on the national and state level, but more is needed.  To have your voice heard, you need to be seated at the table,” said Toby Friedman, who got involved after the 2017 march. “There are so many issues that need to be addressed, like reuniting families, that have been torn apart, climate change, improving education, and equality for all.  We march to show we are here, we care, and we are active.”

    The march will be immediately followed by a rally featuring music and speakers from local organizations addressing a variety of issues, including the Equal Rights Amendment. Voter registration information and information regarding local groups that are active on a wide variety of issues will be available. The march is open to everyone and signs will be available, although marchers are encouraged to bring their own, on the issues that are important to them.

      Having participated in raising 3 girls I have a prejudice in this subject.

      So lets get the number in Congress up and at least equal to the gender divide in the nation – 50% or a bit more.

      But not all of them Progressives. Shouldn’t there be at least a balance with conservative women running and winning election.

      Maybe some day the women marching will attract the same enthusiasm that the Irish folks gain in their annual parade down 89A. Sure hope so.

      Keep at it Ladies, us guys need the help.

      I am happy to report that many cities are skipping the women’s march this year due to women waking up. The progressive Jewish women have distanced themselves from the march after organizers spewed hate speech toward them. And organizer Linda Sarsour says that “Sharia Law is reasonable,” which it isn’t. She has dismissed the anti-Islamist feminist Ayaan Hirsi Ali in the most crude and cruel terms, insisting she is “not a real woman” and confessing that she wishes she could take away Ms. Ali’s vagina — this about a woman who suffered genital mutilation as a girl in Somalia. On July 16, the official Twitter feed of the Women’s March offered warm wishes to Assata Shakur. “Happy birthday to the revolutionary #AssataShakur!” read the tweet, which featured a “#SignOfResistance, in Assata’s honor” — a pink and purple Pop Art-style portrait of Ms. Shakur, better known as Joanne Chesimard, a convicted killer who is on the F.B.I.’s list of most wanted terrorists.
      Women like myself are not marching because the left has now openly embraced hate, Sharia Law, terrorists, and anti-Semitism. Fanaticism is wrong on both sides. I won’t be marching this year.

        We will march for all women. Even the ones that are haters


    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
