I join the fight for LGBT rights, prison abolition, a $15 minimum wage, free healthcare and college tuition, police accountability, disability rights, and sex work legalization.

Why I march: I’m 69 and I’ve been doing this since I was 19; when Congress passed the Voting Rights Act and the Rehabilitation Act, when the National Guard fired on college students protesting the Viet Nam war I was there and burning my bra with women fighting for the ERA. I saw our nation…

I am appalled at what has happened in our country and with our government. No more will I sit silently by while…

Why I’d like to join: It’s vital to show solidarity in protecting women’s rights – for equality, bodily sovereignty, safety, dignity. We must send a powerful message to our new administration that we will not take steps backwards in civil rights for anyone in this country. We will rise up as warriors to protect ourselves…

I am joining the March today because I would love to protest in person, but my mental illness and chronic pain are currently not allowing me to do so. I need my health care to literally stay alive and this is currently in danger. I’m also Queer and Transgender and my basic human rights are…
