I am joining the Women’s March to show solidarity to people in the United States and everywhere. I march for a society in which we are all safe and can expect equal treatment. I march to let people who belong to a minority know they are not alone. We are not alone.

My name is Laurien, I am a 36 year old from The Netherlands. I have been living with CFS for more than twelve years now and unfortunately I can’t join the Women’s March live.
