Why I went....

I'm not outspoken politically.  The more I heard about the women's march happening on January 21st around the country, the more I felt like I couldn't not go.  I don't feel that I marched, but I went.

I went because healthcare is a right, not the privilege it has become.

I went because a man's erection is not more important than my ability to keep my hormones balanced.

I went because no one can tell me what I can do with my own body.

I went because my students are people too and deserve the help they need without outrageous costs.

I went because everyone has a right to feel safe, no matter where they are.

I went because everyone should be heard.

I went because everyone should feel like they've been listened to.

I went because I can.
