I’m joining this march to join the ranks of those who are dissatisfied and full of pain and sadness over the way our country is moving forward. I want to help show another person who is affected in many ways by the proposed plans of the president elect and his cabinet, as a disabled person…

We march for: clean water #nodapl, equality for all, safety against sexual predators, and health. I injured myself days before the march in Edinburgh and was gutted that I wouldn’t be able to attend. Thanks for providing this platform to be included!

I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and have had to take extended medical leave from my job. Because of this, I have been unable to pay my rent for the past three months and will likely be unable to pay next month as well. I am joining the virtual march to draw attention to the…

Because I will not be silent when women’s rights are destroyed. I march to support all women. I march against misogyny, homo/bi/trans phobia, racism, anti-immigration, Islamophobia, antisemitism, and all discrimination. Shame on you, Trump. You are a disgrace to the world.

I have been misdiagnosed and mistreated. I have been misguided by doctors and given unnecessary medications and harmful medical advice. Without a diagnosis for so long, I did my…
