I am joining the march because I have been in deep denial since November 9, 2016. I am afraid for our country. I am afraid that we will lose what we have worked hard to achieve over the years. I am joining because I ache for those that will be dangerously affected by a new…

I’m joining this virtual march in protest of the election of Donald Trump.  He is a dangerous and unpredictable man who has gone too far.  Trump has underestimated the women of America & we are rising up to protect ourselves, our children, our communities and our country.

Cathy Tilton

My name is Cathy and I am joining the Disability March because, while my heart and soul are in the streets with my brothers and sisters, my brain and body suffer from several anxiety that makes crowds of people unbearable for me. But I am on standby all weekend to deliver food, give rides, and…
