Why I Am Joining The March : Because everyone deserves justice, healthcare, and respect, regardless of their gender identity. Because none of this is normal. Because this is the first time a protest has been truly accessible to me. Resist fascism, stop racism, support those with disabilities, and bring an end to LGBTQ-phobia. http://www.dmurring.com Smiling…

Since I was unable to actually go to the March itself, I wanted to show my support for the cause. I am concerned for the future of our country, and I want to advocate for equal rights for everyone. I’m disabled and am nervous about the possibility of being denied insurance due to this. I…

Thank you for organizing this march! I am participating because I am blind and have severe asthma which sometimes leads to hospitalization. I’m terrified about what a Trump presidency could mean for millions of Americans like me. With a potential repeal of Obamacare we could lose insurance as a result of pre-existing conditions we could…

I believe in equal rights for everyone. I believe my womb should not have more importance than my rights as a person and small businesses should not have better human protection as women. I believe we women should stand up for the rights of us as women and even though I cant literally stand up…

From an early age, I suffered from frequent infections. It spite of being a high achiever, I was often bullied and my absences treated with skepticism.  I persevered, married, got a masters in social work, had two children and wrote when I could.  Then, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had a severe reaction…

Do not believe that Trump is qualified to be president and afraid he will take away the many rights we have fought for before.  I protested against the Vietnam War, women’s reproductive rights, and nuclear proliferation.  I have seen that protesting works if enough people participate.  For me, this march is just the beginning of…
