I joining because I wish to be in solidarity with all the women, femmes, and woman-identifying folks even while I cannot march. I have degenerative joint disease, scoliosis, herniating cervical discs, and a neurological disorder that make long periods of standing and/or walking an adventure in pain. I parse my energy in very specific ways to accomplish my daily activities of living with minimal damage and this leaves me on the sidelines for many events. I am so happy to be able to participate in this manner and to show our elected officials that we are watching. I want them to know that we will push back against measures and laws that will further oppress the already marginalized individuals in this country. Power to the people!
