I join the march because it’s time to take a stand against misogyny, ideology that punishes and objectifies women for being women, racism, xenophobia, and finally, predatory capitalism. How we treat those who need us the most is the most profound statement about ourselves as people and as a nation. America can do better. 

I am a woman, a mother, a New Yorker. I am every one’s sister, everyone’s mother, everyone’s daughter and your friend.
