My mother and I both have disabilities that prevent us from joining in this important march. We believe that all people are deserving of equal rights and respect, and have grave concerns about the rhetoric of hate and ignorance espoused by Trump and his administration. We cannot physically stand for long, but we stand in…

I am Barbara McCord, a Marylander born and bred. As such, I treasure the Chesapeake Bay and the unique environment that shapes our culture of respect and tolerance. My exceptional liberal arts education reinforced my world view of Christian humanism. I had varied work experiences, most always as a writer. Prior to retirement I was…

I want to march for women’s rights, minority rights and freedoms, to keep the country from backsliding into hate, disorder and war. The hate crimes that have been happening since the campaigns and election fall on the head of the President elect and he needs to be shown it will not be allowed. I’m a…

I am joining the Women’s March to the Inauguration because my disability, which is increasingly shared by millions of Americans, is caused by toxins saturating our environment—our air, water, land and food chain. These toxins are causing disability and even death for adults and vulnerable children everywhere, and especially near energy (nuclear, and oil and…
