A woman with a purple shirt and a key lanyard around her neck stands amid a group of four girls with backpacks and school supplies. They are standing in front of a mural that is a world map.

My name is Kim. I am a retired teacher of 33 years. I spent those years bending, stooping, squatting, skipping, running, jumping, dancing, and teaching hundreds of kids. Unfortunately that teaching was on cement floors. I loved my career. I loved my kids. However, I now need two knee replacements and am unable to walk or stand until I have surgery. Though my feet won’t be at this march, like they have been at many others, my heart and spirit will be there in full support. Feel my power. Stand strong. Thank you for making a difference.
