Pat Callahan

My name is Pat Callahan. I have had 2 major strokes, am hard of hearing, have failing eyesight, and have other problems which prevent me from walking very far. I was very pleased to hear about this option for protest. Trump’s egotistic deprivations, and the Republican attacks on health care and civil rights, has to…

I am a 54-year-old woman with multiple major mental illnesses (Bipolar II, CPTSD, GAD). I live in a small town, and near-poverty combined with my mental illnesses makes it impossible for me to attend rallies in cities far away. I stand against the incoming administration with all my heart. I feat its policies will result…

No one should be able to make decisions for me or my body, nor deny me insurance coverage for my tetralogy of fallot, anxiety, or anything else I’m a survivor of. Also, MY PUSSY IS NOT UP FOR GRABS!! #nastywoman

Rachel Donelson

I have severe endometriosis as well as IC which makes every day life debilitating due to chronic pain. Long distance walks are nearly impossible for me to physically do without being put into excruciating pain. But I so badly wanted to be apart of this incredible March and movement. I am a crisis counselor for…
