Salma H: Why I Am Joining The March : I’m joining the march to add my voice to those of many other strong beautiful women and women rights advocates. I believe in fighting for justice, equity and dignity. As a teacher I have a special role in educating our youth and facilitating the development emotionally and socially and I want to be able to tell my students that I have done everything I can to create an environment they can thrive in beyond the walls of my classroom. I want to add my voice because women in this so called developed country are still being harassed in the workplace and on the street and bystanders are still putting the blame on  women. I’m marching because it is time to change the narrative.

Mary Donnelly: Why I Am Joining The March : To promote love for all.

Maggie Knight: Why I Am Joining The March : I have struggled with anxiety and depression for years. Crowds make me nervous and some days, leaving the house is a struggle. But my voice matters, as does the voice of every other person who speaks up for their rights to affordable and accessible health care – both physical and mental.

Sasha H.: Why I Am Joining The March : I am disabled. A combination of mental disorders means that I do not have the ability to hold a job. I am queer, and have faced discrimination already in dealing with the medical community. Making my access to healthcare even lower will only make it more difficult for me to treat my disorders, and to be able to live my life. I am so thankful to the people who can be there in person. We stand together.

Kristy Parke: Why I Am Joining The March : Although I cannot be there is person, I want to support the women who are marching on behalf of all of us! Let’s go girls!!!

Jo Walker: Why I Am Joining The March : Because Trump is a joke. He is a danger to the nation and all of his cabinet choices are as unqualified as he is to be in public service.

Mer: Why I Am Joining The March : I am a schizophrenic, queer woman, a survivor of abuse, and a US alien who is unable to travel to attend the march. My parents and many friends and family members spent the last decades fighting for the rights of the marginalized, oppressed, and forgotten, and I want to continue that in whatever way I can.
Even though this is not fully my country, there are millions of people in it who have the right to safety and health but who live wanting and in fear for their lives. I believe in their right to live happily and our collective right to protest this treatment and protect ourselves and others from the harm that can be done, will be done, and is being done by those in power.

Debra Reed: Why I Am Joining The March : I am disabled and it will be a disaster if our insurance was taken away. I am on a fixed income and can not afford to pay for insurance. Through Obamacare I finally had insurance and my health was being taken care of. I was never able to get insurance before. Trump to me is not qualified to take on the role as president. He has no idea what to do except to bs his way around the true facts and needs of this country!

Jessica Burkett: Why I Am Joining The March : I don’t consider myself necessarily disabled, but for many reasons, I cannot march in person. However, I feel the need to stand up for what I believe to be right. I march because I still can’t believe that hate and ignorance won. I march because those things can’t win anymore. I march because the number of people groups he is against far outweigh the ones he is for, and that is not ok. People in charge of running the country need to know we don’t think that’s ok. I march because kindness, decency, and understanding need to win.

Cheyenne Journey: Why I Am Joining The March : I am joining the March because I am a woman, I am a Social Worker, I am disabled, I am a lesbian, and I am an Aunt of an incredible 15 month old Niece.
I want the person who sits in the White House to respect all of the parts of me and unfortunately Mr. Trump has shown that he does not respect anyone!!!
