I march because I refuse to be cynical.
I march because I believe in the power of everyday citizens committing themselves to progress while we have a president who cannot be a role model for our children.
I march for equal pay for equal work, for birth control, and the right to make decisions about my own uterus.
I march because Black Lives Matter.

I march for climate justice and the conservation of wild spaces and an inhabitable earth for future generations.
I march for you, and me, and everyone in between.

I’m joining for myself and all my sick CML sisters that we don’t get our insurance taken away or be unable to switch insurances. I’m joining for all my fellow victims of abuse, whether it be sexual or verbal abuse. I’m joining for my sons, so they understand how strong woman act if you threaten…

Why I Am Joining The March : To quote John Pavlovitz: History has been littered with horrible people who did terrible things with power, because too many good people remained silent. And since my fear is that we are surely entering one of those periods in our story, I wanted to make sure that I…

Why I Am Joining The March : I have been so sad and frustrated that I cannot attend the march without seriously compromising my health. Living with ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia means that a day like this could land me in bed for the next few weeks. I am grateful that this community has been created…
