I am marching because I believe in every person being able to lead a life that they choose. I believe in everyone having enough food to eat, adequate housing, and access to the health care that they need to live. I believe that every human being deserves dignity and bodily autonomy. I believe in helping…

I am without transportation, so I cannot join the march in Olympia, WA. This march is very important for people like me, who would be out there is we could. This May will be 30 years that I have lived with multiple sclerosis. Since I have 7 scars in my brain, I can honestly say…

I would love to march in the Women’s March, for I find just about everything about this new administration appalling.   I worry about the normalization of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, and profiteering by government officials.  I would march to protest the nomination of various cabinet members whom I believe will together or separately add to or…

I am joining in the march to show my support for all Americans who are going to be negatively affected by this coming administration. As a trans person suffering from chronic pain, I have many fears of my rights being compromised as well as losing access to health care. The things that are happening are…

The potential undoing of the ACA and its protections for those with pre-existing conditions endangers lives. We cannot stand by while large swaths of Americans are robbed of their basic human rights by an administration that only cares for its own interests. People of color, women, LGBTQIA people, people of all faiths, people with disabilities,…
