The Women’s March on Washington just got their permit to march near the U.S. Capitol on January 21 the day after the Inauguration.

The focus of the march is to show the rights of the oppressed individuals of this nation as their website says,

"The Women’s March on Washington will send a bold message to our new administration on their first day in office, and to the world that women's rights are human rights."

The march will rally for the rights of not only women and the feminist agenda but for the many who feel threatened by the country’s new administration such as Muslims, immigrants, blacks, LGBTQIA individuals, Native Americans, Latinas, people with disabilities, and victims of sexual assault.

The organizations permit grants them to peacefully march starting at the intersection of Independence Ave. and Third Street SW located near the U.S. Capitol.

It is expected to be the largest demonstration taking place around the Inauguration date with 146,000 participants marked as attending on the official Facebook page and the organizers have prepared for double the expectancy.

The mission of the march is to make the presence of these individuals known in great numbers showing that their voice is something worth paying attention to.

The Women's March is aiming to be a peaceful protest and they have stated clearly that it stands by the principles of nonviolence by saying, "Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people."

And if that is not impressive enough, there will be a sister march called the Boston Women's March For America (BWMFA) taking place on the same day. The goal of the march isn't focused so much on the inauguration itself, but still strives for the same message of respect and equality for all that the Women's March is brought together by.

The Women's March, whether in D.C. or Boston, is trying not just to protest a party that many fear won't respect human rights in the next four years to come, but is most importantly showing that there is a movement happening and many who stand behind a thought for equality among all.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
