This is a portrait of me done by my son, who has autism. He’s 14, and pretty self sufficient, but marching in a large crowd is not possible for us. My other, older son is transgendered, so I am marching for both of them, but also for myself, my husband, my friends in the arts and friends with medical conditions. I am an author and teacher, and musician. I live near San Diego, California, and protest the abuse already of free speech and suppression of the press.
