I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. There is no way I can go to the march but I am so worried about this presidency. Trump has no compassion for people with disabilities and all other minorities in this country. Thank you for allowing me a way to participate.

I am a disabled woman and cannot “March”, but I would like to show my support for women and minorities and the disenfranchised and to “stand up” and let my voice be heard for what is right and just and fair. I want a president that cares for and looks out for ALL the people…

WHY I AM JOINING THE MARCH: I don’t like the fact that someone will be in the office of president who appears to have greatly compromised the integrity of our democratic process by his association with Vladimir Putin.

I can’t participate in my local march because I can’t be out with the crowd, but I firmly believe that Trump is a step backwards for equality of all kinds. I think it’s absolutely unacceptable, for someone to run on a platform of disrespect against woman, for someone who has multiple claims of sexual…

Mother Earth must be protected from climate change. Black Lives matter. GLBT people have rights. Women deserve equal pay for equal work. Education is important. Quality healthcare (including mental healthcare) for every citizen must be a priority. Our national parks & wildlife must be protected. No veteran should be homeless. No mentally ill person should…
