Healthcare is a human need not a way to make profit. Women require Pap smears and other medical services from Planned Parenthood to live healthy and fulfilling lives.

I am joining the disability march because I am a disabled Marine Vet advocating for my children, especially my son with Autism. I want to show my daughters that their voice does make a difference and to have the courage to stand up to injustice in the world. That women deserve to make choices on…

Rather than joining in Oakland’s Women’s March, I will be caring for my husband of 48 years who had surgery last week. The number of issues with the new administration’s plans are countless but participating in the Women’s March would reflect my concern for older women who now must rely on Medicaid, Medicare, and Social…
