Action

This is what action looks like. This is what happens when people mobilize and organize and exert the time, energy, and money to take a stand for what they believe in. These people are fighting for freedom, for justice, for equality, for safety, for their first amendment rights to freedom of speech and to peaceably assemble.

This is Austin, Texas, on Friday, January 19th, and Saturday, January 20th. An estimated 50,000 people (men, women, and children) gathered in the capital city of Texas to participate in the worldwide "Women's March" the day after the Inauguration of President Donald Trump. They were sending a clear message to our new leader: "We do not agree with many of your ideas. We did not vote for you. We will fight against many of the policies you intend to implement. We will do all we can to ensure our safety and our freedoms. We stand together against you and your administration. This country was founded on democracy, religious freedom, and an individual's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We will not let you take away our rights and our security."
