Millions of people marched this weekend in response to the inauguration of the 45th president of the United States. My social media feed was dominated by photos of my friends and family peacefully protesting all around the country and world. People protested for many reasons. I asked people in our community to share with me why they marched. If you want to add your voice/photos to this post, please contact me.
I marched because I want my government to know that I oppose the rhetoric and proposed policies of the new administration that marginalizes and infringes on the rights of immigrants, Muslims, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Native people, Black and Brown people, people with disabilities, and survivors of sexual assault (to name a few).
