I want to march with you because I am currently on disability and have many medical challenges. I wish I was able to come to Washington and March with all the women there but my back,  legs, fibromyalgia and anxiety make that an impossibility.  I am worried about what’s going to happen to me and…

Chronic disease will not define me and neither will my passion for social justice. I may not be able to march, but I am there in spirit. There is so much at stake. It is important that we peacefully stand up for what we believe in. God Bless America!

I believe in unions, voting rights for all Americans & the words on the Statue of Liberty, “Give me your tired, your poor…” I was a single mother & raised two children that…
