I am joining the march because I have been in deep denial since November 9, 2016. I am afraid for our country. I am afraid that we will lose what we have worked hard to achieve over the years. I am joining because I ache for those that will be dangerously affected by a new government. I am joining because I value inclusion, acceptance and tolerance of others, particularly those that are different than I am. I am joining because while my body may not be able to physically march, my heart is 100% present.
