Reason I march: I support this cause because I believe women have the right to control what is theirs, and not be told what they should or should not do. I further believe controlling access only harms poor women, and that is not the way it should be. About me: My name is Jocelyn and…

Group of 10 marchers
Alyce: I am a woman with dwarfism with mobility issues. I am 60 years old, have seen women’s rights and disability rights grow over my lifetime, and I march in defiance of those who would erode those gains. Pat Bremner: I want to let Donald Trump know his rhetoric so far has been deplorable and is…
