If anyone was expecting this to be a big march in DC (2 local school districts in the DC Metro Area closed because of this), then you'd be disappointed.

There's a small group of women who are protesting (the ones in the Twitter videos). That's it. No one else is out here protesting or doing anything. I just walked around the mall (near the Capitol and Washington Monument)...and it's just a normal day here in DC.

So Soros spent $246 million bucks on this...for 25-30 people to show up?

I haven't seen any women wearing red today. Traffic was a little lighter than usual, but I don't know if that's due to the protest or because some schools are on spring break and the weather is nice today.

I'm not skipping work or wearing red today. I don't want people at work knowing my politics.

I haven't seen any women wearing red today either yet, ironically.

I feel like the movement worked for the Jan 21 March, but now it's worn out.

The one school system, Prince George's County, closed because 30% of its bus drivers put in for leave as well as 1700 of 9100 teachers.


It doesn't have enough drivers or subs to cover on a normal day.

Well, they're not out marching LOL probably just wanted a day off to relax.

I'm looking out at the mall now. It's just business as usual. I hope those kids won't have to make this day up in the summer.

Wait till other employers with hold payment for their employees not showing up to work when they have to take care of their kids due to teachers staying home for this.

I don't think these parents will be happy campers and they might be Democrats who will no longer be a favorite of the Democratic party!

They probably will but there are snow days cycled into the calendar and it's been a mild winter.

They probably are still recovering from that dayand some may have claimed DACA and are now worried to meet ICE and get the cold icy shoulder!
