  I am joining my fellow women to stand together against those who try to bring us down. I stand with my fellow woman, no matter their age, race, ethnicity, religion, etc. I want to walk through the streets without fear of assault. I want to be able to choose what happens with my body….

Why I Am Joining The March : As a disabled woman, I am proud to join the Women’s March on Washington. I fear for Obamacare which has accepted me with pre-existing conditions. I fear for all of those who will be harmed by racism, sexism, religious persecution, and harassment of the LGBTQ and Pro-Choice communities. Thank…

We have truly failed as a society for allowing such a horrible person to become the leader of our country and to allow politicians who just don’t care about women to gain the majority vote in the Congress and Senate! I served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War; my first husband died from…

I march to show solidarity with the Women’s March in DC and around the world, but am unable to participate in person due to mobility challenges. I am 67 years of age, the mother of three, grandmother of one. I am an author, poet, artist, and a die-hard 1960s hippie.

I am a retired professor of History and Education.  I have had a special commitment to teaching young women and women’s history since the 1970s and see so very much that needs to be done by and for women (and all Americans) that I wish I could join you.  Particularly, politically I would like to…

I march because my family has been the target for hate for generations. My father’s family is Shoshone, many of them are currently at the DAPL site fighting for the right to clean water. My mother’s family is Jewish, my great-grandmother was part of the diaspora. My older sister is black, my younger sister is…

Thank you for my virtual presence at the March. Here I sit for justice for all people. To name a few – LGBTQ, equal pay for equal work, women’s rights to choose their health options, affordable care, and inclusion of differently abled people. Thanks to you a great start! Here I am! A mixed race…

I am participating in this walk because I am a 46-year-old woman with NUMEROUS pre-existing conditions, such as having a heart transplant 25 years ago, a replaced tricuspid valve in that heart, and a chunk of my neck replaced.  I know what it is like to have to worry about health insurance coverage and about…
