I am joining the march today to support families with eosinophilic associated diseases. I  am a mother, advocate, and co-founder of an online support network for families with eosinophilic diseases. These diseases manifest with an elevated white blood cells and these chronic rare conditions cause inflammation and damage to vital organs.

What a great idea, I have a disability and now I can attend, thank you. I stand with the Women’s march for human rights, equality and bridges not walls. Love, hope, peace and freedom will trump hate! Final year Open University student with a budding career in human rights and activism, built on years of…

I am also joining because this regime is an existential threat to women, this nation, and the planet. And, I am joining because…

Michelle Elder

My name is Michelle Elder and I live in the Bay Area in California. I suffer from chronic postherpetic neuralgia on my ribs and face, which greatly limits my ability to march.  However, I would like to march along others today to protest the presidential seal of approval including but not limited to racism, sexism,…

I am an activist, a woman, I am queer, I have invisible illnesses that disable me. A march in the outdoors, hot day (in Canberra) was not a winning combination for me, but I know I still count.

I want equality for woman. I don’t want anyone else to be told you can’t because you’re a girl. Or to have to prove their love for their hobby because they are girl. The government needs to stay out of my reproductive health care. My choices should be determined be me and my doctor, maybe…
