There are a lot of Jan. 21 post-Women’s March activities in our area, like the fundraiser at Midlands, a comedy show fundraiser for the ACLU at Wonderland and other happy hours at local spots like the Red Derby and others, and many local businesses are donating proceeds from the weekend to nonprofits. But there’s also opportunities…
