I am joining because I am unable to attend in person. I am retired, have worked in social services over 24 years with people who rely on some form of government assistance. I have Medicare and additional insurance. I have grandchildren for whom I want a better country. I have also been a union activist. I am concerned about all of the unqualified people being nominated to run our government and the damage
they can do. Healthcare, the environment, education. There is no one thing, they are all intertwined.
We must fight back !

The image I am posting represents to me inclusion of all people, my hope for peace and my willingness to fight for it.

Poster by Liza Donovan, “Hear Our Voice”, via The Amplifier Foundation. Central in the poster is a black power fist with a bright red flame behind the clenched fingers and a white dove emerging from the flame’s top. The fist is set against a pale blue circle, behind which light sepia lines radiate and break the background into alternating light and dark spokes of sepia and grey. Three hands reach up to entwine as they hold the black power fist up as a beacon. The three hands are in different human skin pigments, dark with blue nails and bracelets on top, light toned with red nails on the bottom, and lightest toned with a black ring in the middle. Two sets of stars accent to the left and right of the hands, three stars each which increase in size as they approach the central blue circle. The text at the bottom of the poster reads “Hear Our Voice Women’s March on Washington January 21, 2017”
