I wanted to march in person but it’s too much for me. I stand for equality for women, for LGBTQ, for all races, and religions. I have congenital heart disease and I have had a stroke and 7 heart procedures. I also have major depressive disorder and anxiety. I am doing better now but have…

I am joining this march because women need to stand together, even those with invisible illnesses like fibromyalgia.  We need to set aside our differences and demand our rights! That includes all races, ethnicities, across class lines, our lgbtq sisters (which includes me) and transgender sisters.  I stand with you all! I am a 51…

Why I Am Joining The March: As a woman, a feminist and a lesbian, I march to join the voices of all minority groups and those who will not be oppressed, will not go back in the closet, who will not go back to back-alley abortions, who will not be deported, who will not be…

I can’t be at a march, but I am not silent. This is a horrible day for women, LGBT people, disabled people, and minorities, and I am here to let my voice be heard with those of all who are able to march.  

I march here because I can’t march elsewhere. I march for all of us under threat. I march for our safety. I march for our wellbeing. I march for our rights. I was an English professor and writing center director. I am currently unable to work because of my disability.

Why I Am Joining The March: Ten years ago, I’d have been on the front lines as I was for marches for Fair Housing, civil rights, the ERA, and against the Vietnam War back in the 60s. Due to various chronic medical issues, that’s no longer possible. But I’m a world-class emailer, caller, petition signer…
