I took the crosstown bus down to U.C. to march with my fellow Cincinnatians. Like you, I teared up a couple of times on the march from campus to Burnett Woods.

Just like the first Women's March in DC in January 2017, there was simply no question that I would be there last Saturday, rain or shine.

As if we needed a reminder that our voices matter, the death of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and the serious wounding of a Minnesota state senator and his wife solidified my resolve to show up for as long as it takes.

So many reasons for showing up -- all reflected in hundreds of signs. I admire -- and appreciate -- your grit.

Brave hearts, we.. And Oxford, with a population (not including college kids which have left for the summer) of about 13,000 had approx. 800 show up--Oh yes we DID!

That's fantastic! The turnout has been so encouraging in the face of so many terrible events. We may all live in different places -- but I now have a sense of being part of a team of wonderful people.
