I would have loved to march in Washington. I believe our government has a responsibility to protect and serve ALL of the people of this country. Our elected officials need to have integrity and a strong belief system in our Constitution and the rights of all people. However, I have an autoimmune disease that prevents…

I am an 18 year cancer survivor who is a grass-roots lobbyist for health care related issues. I’m concerned about patients with pre-existing conditions; we cannot “undo” our medical conditions! Women need access to health care, coverage for treatment, and time to complete treatment and palliative care conditions. Our children, too, are our most precious…

I am joining the march because – I want the United States to be a place of peace, kindness, and respect for my grandchildren and all people I am – a Christian, a former teacher, a wheelchair-bound person with RA, a mother and grandmother

Why I Am Joining The March : I am joining the march because I can’t sit idly by while our country is plunged back into the dark ages of human rights. We have made so much amazing progress, only to have it mocked and threatened by those coming into power. I am afraid, and I…

I want to march because I believe in our great nation, and its historic right and obligation to protest unfair treatment and unjust rule. I want to march because I want, for once in my life, to stand for what I do believe in so strongly and stand against what in my opinion has gone…

I have RA and it flared up this week.  I planned on marching in the San Jose California march but can barely move about my house at this moment.  Having the ability to participate this way is going to be amazing.  THANK YOU. Ronni Eloff is an eclectic technology leader. With 30 years’ experience as…
