Twelve Marchers

Evy Gaudette: I am joining the March to stand with my sisters so we can all fight for our rights together! I can’t join you in person due to my autism and sensory processing disorder, but I’m right here with all of you! We will be heard!

Lura Zoerb: I have mental and physical disabilities and this is the accessible option for me to participate!

Sandra E. Fields: I grew up watching the struggle women were having, trying to gain equal rights. I can’t bear the thought of all that hard work, sweat, and tears is now being assaulted…..I support you and am with you in spirit! “Feminism is the astounding belief that Women are human beings”

Indigo Denovan: My name is Indigo. I’m a 22 year old trans man and have two invisible disabilities. One is hard of hearing/deaf that I’ve had my whole life, while the other is CFS/ME/SEID that really got bad in the last 5 to 8 years. I am mostly housebound and bedbound these days. While I wish to join the march with my mother and friends, I regret not being able to. So I will join the online march and for every person who physically joins, please know that 10 more march alongside you in spirit. March for us too, please.

Shirin Chand: I am joining the virtual women’s march on Washington because I can not walk because of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I want every person in U.S. to have Medical Insurance/ACA available.

Austin Joseph: I don’t love giant crowds because of a history of head injuries. So happy to stand in solidarity with those with disabilities on this platform. Accessibility is so important!

Ruth Richmond: I strongly believe in women’s rights. I am 63 years old. With a heart condition, COPD, and other medical issues. We have worked too hard in home and out, too have these rights, and no one should be able to tell us different. Move forward not backwards.

Ellen Leigh: Women make up more than 50% of the population of this country, and yet we are considered less than and inferior, paid less and pushed aside. Although I cannot physically take part in this great march, I am there in spirit and in support for our rights as women, for our rights to make our own decisions with our own bodies, for our right to equal pay, for our right to justice in the court system, for our right to equal consideration. I, a strong woman, am joining this march as the daughter of a strong woman and also the mother of a strong woman- we are all with all of our sisters who march.

Lynda Vaughn: I want to stand up for American values as personified in our present First Family and stand AGAINST the misogyny, racism, hatred, and violence personified in Donald Trump.Website: https://www.facebook.com/lyn.vaughn

Kate Greenen: I have chronic back pain and traveling is tough. I’m marching because I’m a mental health therapist, a woman, a citizen – and I cannot believe we still have to protest for things like healthcare access, birth control coverage, and social welfare programs, let alone have a president who brags about sexual assault! America is a revolutionary country and I’m a proud American. I revolt against PEOTUS and his cabinet, against his misogynist and racist policies, against the sheer ineptitude and lack of moral character he’s shown so far. He is the perpetrator that my clients fights to heal from every day, and the fact that those that suffer from trauma have to endure an abusive narcissist as their leader is unconscionable.

Belinda Ryan: I am joining the march because Women’s Rights are essential!!

Cynthia McArthur: My CFS plus severe back pain that requires my to have surgery Friday the 20th means I can’t be at a March. I’m sad about missing it here in St Paul, MN but hope to view it from my hospital window in a hospital near where the March will be!
