Why I’m marching: I’m marching because even though my body is riddled with pain and exhaustion, my voice is still strong, and I want to be able to exercise it to ensure that all of our rights continue to be protected. I want our country to continue to move forward, not fall back, as I…

Diagnosed with M.S. in 2004. Mother of 5. Unable to work as a result of my M.S. because managing my M.S. is a full-time job 24/7. My biggest reason for participating in this march is because I am appalled by Trump mocking a disabled reporter!
