I want to march because I believe in our great nation, and its historic right and obligation to protest unfair treatment and unjust rule. I want to march because I want, for once in my life, to stand for what I do believe in so strongly and stand against what in my opinion has gone…

I am virtual marching because I believe that the only way forward is to stand (march!) together, to listen to each other’s stories and realise you are not alone, and that all challenges can be overcome. I think the more we share the more we understand each other. Because my younger siblings need to know…

I’m not disabled myself. But I will be missing the march because I will be caring for my disabled daughter-in-law and grandson so that my son can work. I am joining the march in spirit because I am so fearful of what a Trump-led presidency will do to the future of my family. His proposed…

I am marching because the voices of women – the voices of those that believe in socioeconomic justice – must be heard. Otherwise, as Audre Lorde wrote, “our silence will choke us”. I am a 63 year old divorced mother of…

Xander Frost

(I march) To Rise Up! I am marching because he made fun of someone who had a disability. That’s not kind to do that. At my school we learned: Do onto people as you would have people do onto you. He has treated women like things and that’s just not right because everyone should be…

I am joining the disability march because my old arthritic legs won’t allow me to do everything I want to do anymore, like march! I am a 64-year-old, Alabama-native blue dot in a blazingly red state. I want to march online for all my sisters of every ethnicity and my LGBT loved ones. I fear…
