I march for the disenfranchised. For women, for minorities, for immigrants, for the disabled and chronically ill. I march for those of us who feel we must scream to be heard. Stephanie was diagnosed with rheumatoid disease shortly after her 30th birthday. Once a passionate activist and volunteer for her community, she has struggled to…

The reasons for marching have been stated so many times by so many people in much more eloquent language than I can muster. But I can say that, as a Unitarian Universalist, everything that this man and his administration stand for are completely in contrast to everything embodied in the UUs 7 Principles (http://www.uua.org/beliefs/what-we-believe/principles) and…

I am joining to implore our government not to let the person sitting in the Oval Office take away all the freedoms and rights that…
