National Equality March

We spent the weekend in Washington, D.C. where we took part in the National Equality March. We flew to DC with our friend Rikki, Amy, and Sherry. Randi and Matt also joined us. It was one of the coolest, most meaningful experiences of my life. I'm so proud to have been a part of it. We all must continue the fight so that ALL people are treated equally EVERYWHERE.

John Oliver from the Daily Show was there. The segment aired last night Oct 13th.

We marched from the White House to the Capitol.



Here's our Iowa group!


There were so many great signs! There were only a few haters along the way and we peacefully and respectfully drowned them out!


















Heading up Pennslyvania Avenue. The estimate of the crowd was 200,000!





















We marched right past the White House.
