The Women's March

Despite the cold, numb fingers and toes could not keep me from the Women's March. It was empowering to be surrounded by hundreds of like minded individuals in the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection.


Outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, students spoke out about the need for gun control. Strong women communicated the importance of boys and men being held acccountable for their actions. Mayor Jim Kenny and Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro stood with us and acknowkedged anti-Semitism, racism, and xenophobia will not be tolerated. Regardless of what the current dysfunctional presidential administration conveys and condones, LGBTQ rights and trans lives matter.





Let's continue to stand in solidarity and work towards change. Make sure you are registered to vote at your current address so you have a say in who gets elected. Consider donating to Planned Parenhood, an organization that is dedicated to protecting women's reproductive rights and access to health, and The ACLU, an organization that defends our civil rights.
