Ann Strickland won’t be glued to a television screen on Friday morning, watching as Washington, D.C. welcomes a new president.

Instead, Strickland will be at the Bainbridge Yoga House during the swearing-in ceremony, leading a chant on Friday morning, with all of the proceeds going to Planned Parenthood.

That’s only a start, though, for Strickland and other islanders who have been inspired to take action after an election that’s left many on deep-blue Bainbridge in a deep funk.

Strickland is organizing a women’s march on Bainbridge for Saturday morning, with marchers meeting at 8 a.m. in the parking lot at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church and then heading through downtown Winslow to the ferry terminal.

There, she said, some of the marchers are expected to board the 8:45 a.m. boat to Seattle, where they will join up with thousands of others for the Womxn’s March, which organizers expect to be one of the largest day-after-inauguration events in the country.

Some of the Bainbridge marchers will join a Seattle throng that’s predicted to number more than 50,000, while others will stay on Bainbridge.

The Bainbridge march in Winslow is the Saturday highlight of a flurry of local activities planned in response to the election of Donald Trump to the presidency.

On Friday, Emily Silver is organizing an Inaugural Day Candlelight Vigil at Town Square.

On the Facebook page for the event, Silver said the vigil is meant “to bring our community together in solidarity against our future president elect, Donald Trump, and to encourage us to stay together as a community as well as a country.”

The vigil isn’t a protest event, she stressed, but will be a supportive gathering that will include meditation, a peace prayer/chant led by Strickland, and the lighting of candles.

Later Friday, the Dayaalu Center will host an Inauguration Day Dance of Prayers with an evening of live music with Jon Crane, Abraham Neuwelt and Jeny Rae that begins at 7:30 p.m.

And at Rolling Bay Hall, the theater production group Theatre Machine will present an all-ages, post-Inauguration Day show, “Walk Forward: A Performance Event to Resist, Rebuild and Repair,” at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

The common theme to the events is the hope for solidarity in a future that some view with fear and anxiety.

For Strickland and others, Election Day has been a call to action.

“The day after Election Day I just woke up, and I decided there wasn’t going to be a pity party,” she said.

She recalled back to early November, as the results of the election came in while protests over the Dakota Access Pipeline at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota hit an apex.

Strickland recalled the words then said by LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, an elder of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe: “I woke up this morning and it was just like any other day. Our women still live in fear, we are still discriminated against.”

“It was like, ‘Bing!’” Strickland said, with her hands held high and popping open next to her eyes.

“It was just a wake-up call. Now the privileged white people are feeling it. Honestly,” she said.

She began organizing with another member of Grace Episcopal Church, where Strickland is music and arts director, and an action group was formed.

They’re now working on a statement of sanctuary, she said, inspired by the Episcopal Church in Western Washington, Diocese of Olympia, who circulated a letter to Trump last month that included a plea for decency and an offer of spiritual support to the new president.

She’s hoping Bainbridge’s faith community will soon ratify a statement of commitment and action.

What’s prompted her to action has been felt by others, as well.

“They realize they need to participate. There’s also a fair bit of fear,” she said. “They don’t want to be passive. I think there’s a real willingness to take action now.”

Strickland has no guess on how many people will show up for the Bainbridge march, but it could number a hundred or more.

The focus after Saturday, however, will take a concerted effort to sustain, she said.

“We’re all fired up now, but we’ve got to maintain it,” Strickland said.
