PhD student, chronically ill with multiple illnesses (some rare). Disabled. Cannot work full time. Medical bills with insurance => $750 per month. Despite good education, skills, and the desire to work, I will always be poor in this system. I will never have enough money to vacation with. I will never own my own home….

I am joining the March because I want to demonstrate for equality for ALL and the importance of women’s right to health care and choice. And to voice my opposition to the “regime of hate.”  Bio: I am a semi-retired middle school teacher and an presently supervising student teachers. I finished my Ph.D. in 2004,…

I’m an animal activist and have fought long and hard for the advances which I’m afraid will be destroyed. Trump’s cabinet picks…

I cannot go to the nearest March… but I can participate-  and ‘stand’ with all those who are disabled- physically, mentally, emotionally.   There are so many to stand up for.. and there is so much at stake-  Any citizen can show up for this march and I’m grateful to be able to be there, without…

I disagree with everything Trump stands for. Marjorie Kemp: Although I am not disabled myself I am responsible for caring for my husband who suffered a traumatic brain injury. He can’t be left alone and I only have caregivers a few hours a day. I extend my love and appreciation to all who are out on…
