Drumming at Womxn's March Seattle

Jan 26, 2017, 06:50 AM

Drummers gather to celebrate at Womxn's March Seattle while marchers continue to move through. A rolling wave cheer sweeps through the crowd. Chanters pass by, calling, "Hey-hey, ho-ho, misogyny has got to go!". The drummers stop amidst cheers as more chanters call, "Build a bridge, not a wall!" All the while a news helicopter circles above, reverberating through the downtown.

On January 21st, 2017, Seattle joined forces and unite for the Womxn’s March on Seattle in solidarity with the national Women’s March on Washington D.C. and other sister events around the world.

With an estimated crowd of over 150,000 marchers, it was one of the largest peaceful marches in Seattle history. The full march stretched nearly 3.5 miles, starting at Judkins Park and ending at Seattle Center.

In an effort to aid in documenting this historic event for future generations, I made my way through the crowd and recorded from numerous vantage points, never hiding myself nor taking my presence out of the situation.

I present these tracks to you to have and download and use free of license or attribution. I would only ask that you use them to honor and respect the mission of the march and do not seek to use them to harm, hurt, oppress, marginalize, or otherwise minimize anyone's plight.

If you use these tracks in a for-profit manner, I'd appreciate the thanks and credit.
