I’m Kathi, 54, and living with PID, autoimmune disorders, and intractable migraines. I march for the rights of all women, girls, LGBT, minorities, members of non-favored religions, and those who need healthcare. I have two daughters, two granddaughters, LGBT family members, and am tri-racial. We cannot slide back 200 years!

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and mobility issues, but was signed-up to march in DC. I became very ill with a respiratory infection that has developed into asthma, and so have had to cancel my reservations. There are so many people in the U.S. and in the world who are at risk from this new regime,…

I am a 74-year-old senior, partially blind and have osteoporosis, leery of being jostled or knocked down. I can’t risk more fractures after 10 of them. Don’t support Mr. Trump or any hateful policies of discrimination. Scared of him and his cabinet.

I am a retired educator who believes that fairness and equality are for all Americans. No one should have the ability to step in and try to hinder others from reaching their goals and dreams. America does not belong to the few, the rich, or the selected few. We will stand together and let the…

I wish I could be at the March to support the wonderful people I met while campaigning for Hillary in Youngstown, Ohio. Many of them were working so hard just to get by under an administration that was dedicated to the wellbeing of all Americans. I’m fearful that the results of this election will be…
