I have received health insurance through ACA, the expansion of Medicaid and I am scared to lose it. I have several chronic illnesses, and without it, I am uninsurable.

I am joining the march because I want women all over the world to have a voice. To be treated with respect and not sexualised. Grabbing a woman by her pussy is not the way to treat a woman. We have brains and we have voices. These are the things you are should be listening to….

I live in a small town, and near-poverty combined with my mental illnesses makes it impossible for me to attend rallies in cities far away. I stand against the incoming administration with all my heart. I feat its policies will result…
