Melissa Dossey

I’m joining this March because for the first time I’m no longer content with sitting on the sidelines and not speaking up when I see injustice or the potential for injustice.

Ashley Talbert

I am joining the march to show my daughter that she is  equal to any and everyone in this country. That  this country should Show her the Respect and Dignity she deserves. My heart is broken that our country supports racism, bigotry, and hate, but my faith in humanity and God keep my mind fighting…

Michelle Hanna

I march to show my great sadness and disapproval of a man who devalues individuals with disabilities. President Trump you are NOT my President. You do not represent my family and my own son who has Cerebral Palsy. I have great fear that you and your administration will NOT have my son’s best interests at…

Shannon Hughes

I was born with a connective tissue disorder, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and bad legs/hips – my hips were too vertical (a.k.a. coxa valga) and my femurs were anteverted, or rotated inward.

I’ve worked in children’s theatre and as a nanny. In those…

Fight Like a Girl

I’ll stand with any woman or man who supports equal rights. I’ve been a lifelong feminist and this administration will have a hell of a time trying to squash me!! Currently I’m looking for part time work with animals and I’m getting ready to study and get my Vet Tech Certification in the next year….

Sarah R. L. Breggin

I want to joint the march because I am a woman. I am queer. I am disabled. I am mother of girls. I feel unsafe and at risk under the new administration, even though I have the benefit of excellent camoflauge as a white person in a hetero marriage.

Martha Rosenwinkel

 I have been forced to sit idly for a lot over the last few months, but I can’t for this. Too much is at stake. I am grateful for this opportunity not to. Brief biography: I am a Houston based musician who knows what it means to grapple with a brain tumor.
