My mother and I both have disabilities that prevent us from joining in this important march. We believe that all people are deserving of equal rights and respect, and have grave concerns about the rhetoric of hate and ignorance espoused by Trump and his administration. We cannot physically stand for long, but we stand in…

I am Barbara McCord, a Marylander born and bred. As such, I treasure the Chesapeake Bay and the unique environment that shapes our culture of respect and tolerance. My exceptional liberal arts education reinforced my world view of Christian humanism.   I had varied work experiences, most always as a writer. Prior to retirement I was…

I want to march for women’s rights, minority rights and freedoms, to keep the country from backsliding into hate, disorder and war.  The hate crimes that have been happening since the campaigns and election fall on the head of the President elect and he needs to be shown it will not be allowed. I’m a…

I am joining the March because I support peace, women’s rights, animal rights, and environmental protection. I am a retired history teacher now focusing on my art and writing. Thanks for organizing this show of solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington!

My name is Grace (vanVelthuysen) Kaplan. I will be 60 years old in a few months which means I’ve lived in the US for 57 years.

I am mad, scared, disgusted, appalled, apoplectic, shaking and am in a state of absolute disbelief that our country has hit such a new low.  I am furious that those who voted for this president did so out of “a need for change”. Well you got it and it’s going to be hell.  Stand up…

I am marching in spirit for all people to be seen and heard as fully human beings with all the rights and responsibilities concordant thereto. No one is more “equal” than another. Raised a third generation Evangelical fundamentalist, I am now a thoroughly heretical Christian. Cloistered by chronic illness, I am prophet, priestess, and sage…

As someone who is now very disabled, I feel like there is not much I can do to make a difference anymore. I can maybe make calls and write emails, but I want to be a part of this march so much and I cannot physically do so. It feels isolating and lonely, such is…

I’m joining this march to show solidarity with disabled folks everywhere, who find their lives limited by ignorance, discrimination, hate, and greed. I grew up with a father who had had polio, and was constantly amazed at the ignorance and discrimination he experienced, so I’ve made it part of my life to always offer help…
