This video is a mix of clips from the 2017 Women’s March, the 2018 Women’s March 2018, the March for Science the March for Climate Change, the Tax march and Pride 2017 and 2018.
The cuts from the 2017 Women’s March on Washington are from Rand Hall posted to the Internet Archive.
The rest of the videos are mine and made in San Francisco.
This is a re-post with a video update.
The previous video didn’t work for me.
This one looks the same but it’s sharper and better paced.
The header images are scans of the poster handouts at the 2017 Women’s
March on Washington.
To the best of my knowledge the posters are in the public domain, I sharpened the colors but I did not make the posters.
“I was motivated by absolutely humane feelings. I never had any other intention. I never had any other belief than that those poor miserable creatures-that the painful lives of these creatures were to be shortened.”
Karl Brandt, the physician who suggested that Hitler use poison gas to exterminate the Jews.

“I am just one of the people who is sick of the social order, sick of the establishment, sick to my soul of it all. To me, America’s society is nothing but a cancer, and it must be exposed before it can be cured. I am not the doctor to cure it. All I can do is expose the sickness.”

“If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal”, then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.”
― John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage

…and Rimbaud’s limb being so caught up goes be-bopping out the door into the forest through the trees – raga rag in the grass overturning picnic baskets whizzing past churchyard gates right in step it genuflects then aims and leaps over the scene over the rainbow out of the canvas into space pure space—as remote and colorless as dear arthur’s face. a face made incorporeal full of grace. sunken eyes—those cobalt treasures closed forever.
