Name: Emily Lawrence Mendoza

Why I Am Joining The March : I’m marching because I belive in possibilities. Though I can’t be there in person because I just gave birth to my third child 8 days ago, I hope for a future where she, along with her older brother and sister, will see true community. A future where we come together willing to contribute to a greater good. A future where we see true equality. A future where men and women are given adequate time to bond with thier children. And a future where we are not divided and isolated by our politics, gender, or other characteristics. We must unite, armed with facts, compassion, and empathy, to improve our selves at our core and as a whole not as individuals pushing others down in order to get a leg up.
