Why I Am Joining The March : For equality, for the right to good health care and a women’s right to choose what happens to her own body. For equal protection, and equal rights, to all citizens of the United States. For the continued right to love, and marry, the person you love. To give…

Virginia Luella

I am a queer, disabled woman who has been the victim of sexual violence and I can think of few likely candidates who would horrify me as much as the man who is taking over our Executive branch this week. Not only for myself, but for those he will harm even more, I will speak…

Kaci L Koltz

I believe in equal rights and respect for all people, and if my POTS allowed me to join the march I’d take my children and be right there in the thick of it.

I am marching for my wife, for my mother and her mother, for my goddaughters, for queer women, for Jewish women, for abuse and assault survivors, for women with PTSD, for women with chronic pain. I am marching to improve quality of life for the girls who come after us. I am a queer woman…

Alanna C.

  I’m joining this march because standing up for what’s right is important to me. I can’t join in person because of my disability, but I want to stand united with my fellow humans to show that this incoming government doesn’t speak for us, and that we will fight back with everything we’ve got for…
