I march for the rights of those who will be disenfranchised by this incoming administration: the poor, the LGBTQI community, the children, the immigrants, women, the sick, and the disabled. My heart is breaking at the changes that are taking place, at the loss that so many, myself included, are about to endure. I weep…

I am severely disable with osteoarthritis. I have had two knee replacements, one hip replacement, two thumb reconstructions (hence the cast in the photo), and major back surgery. The back surgery failed and, as a result, I cannot stand for more than ten minutes and I cannot walk more than three blocks. But I am…

Hello, I am Bette Siler. Last month I had a 7- hour surgery to remove tumors in my head. I am unable to march physically but I am with you all spiritually. I would’ve loved to knit a hat or volunteer in some other way but I  can’t so I am so happy that this…

Thank you for organizing this march! I am participating because I am blind and have severe asthma which sometimes leads to hospitalization.

I am angry that we are even in need of a march! The things we care about, I care about, should be a firm reality, not subject to the whim of political climate. Healthcare , rights to live and love as you please , accountability in government and leadership, free education, GOOD education! The list…

From an early age, I suffered from frequent infections. It spite of being a high achiever, I was often bullied and my absences treated with skepticism.  I persevered, married, got a masters in social work, had two children and wrote when I could.  Then, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and had a severe reaction…
