Why I Am Joining The March : I have nothing to leave my children but a better world.
“On November 8, 2016, I am old, a sexagenarian—the only label that anyone notices. I live alone, and no one asks whether I am a lesbian or a feminist or Zen Buddhist.“I am wrinkled beyond my years; time and illness blur my sexuality. All I did never slowed either.“I am ten days out from the…
Why I Am Joining The March: This is my 3rd time around with marches. My first was 1968, another in the 70’s…all for equality. I can’t believe we’re doing it again, but if we have to, we have to. I’ll keep doing this until we ‘get it’. I’m Stefanie Mackenzie, 64, from Brandon, Fl. I’m…

Why I am joining the march: I am joining for all people who are like me with mental and physical limitations. I’m joining for my queer child (their words for themselves). I’m joining for my children and husband as people of color. I join as a part Hawaiian. I join for things that I believe…
Why I’m joining the march: I feel so strongly about advocating for women’s rights, especially disabled women. I cannot attend marches or protests physically due to both physical and mental disabilities, so I jumped at the opportunity to do one online!
