I am currently recovering from late-stage neurological Lyme disease, and I can’t physically March just yet. But, I want to be involved. Thank you for this opportunity! I am a trained clinical social worker and an ethical vegan. I will always stand up for the vulnerable, oppressed and disenfranchised. Women’s rights are human rights.

I’m joining the March because I am so frightened about the incoming administration for so many reasons: as a woman, as a person with a disability, as a nurse who spent years working with underserved immigrant communities and then later with patients with complex, multi-organ system disease who often struggle to get the care they…

I am deeply concerned for the health and safety of everyone in this country, indeed, this world, who is not rich, white, upper class, Christian, straight, cis, born American, able-bodied, and male. The more of those things one is not, the more worried I am. This is the time for resistance to power, using whatever…

I have high functioning autism (formerly known as Asperger’s Syndrome) and anxiety. My strong sense of injustice is furious that he was elected president after every abusive, bullying thing he said and did during his campaign.

My name is Kathleen Murphy. I support women’s rights and oppose Donald Trump as president. I am a 61 year old retired woman with bipolar illness.

I am Holly Batt. I am the woman with septum piercing and brown hair in a braid, petting my German shepherd. I am joining the march for all the young people I serve as a children’s librarian. I am here for all the tired marginalized American people. They will know aggressive, actionable love will prevail.

I cannot attend due to being weak from treatment for lymphoma. Born in Eastern North Carolina, held many low-paying positions in my life, but retired from teaching at a university.  I am supporting this protest because of the misogyny, bigotry, and xenophobia that have been traits of our new president.  I am hoping he will…

I’m joining the disability march because a chronic medical condition makes it impossible for me to stand for more than 3 or 4 minutes or sit for more than an hour. I can’t comfortably ride in a car or bus or plane, and I can’t march anywhere! My husband and I (in our 70s) are…

I would love to be in the march in D.C. – but Fibro, recent abdominal surgery and my diabetes would just make it impossible to join in and make the full march. I am a bisexual woman, who relies on insurance through the state (funded in part by the ACA), and is terrified of the…
