We march for everyone
Following the monumental Women's March on Washington, an abysmal video went viral insulting the marchers, their signage, and their apparel. So I am dedicating this blog post to respond to "Activist Mommy" Elizabeth by saying that not only was that video disrespectful, but also, we marchers are far from done. And may I add, we might be protected by law to have the same pay as men, but employers and others do not necessarily practice that.
I find it unsettling for women to insult the mothers of this country's future. As the March continues, as it will, it should be a march for women everywhere, with all political backgrounds and religious affiliations. And when we fight women's rights we are fighting for all human rights. When the most vulnerable ones among us are seen and protected, then we can rest. Until then, the Revolution starts right here, right now, and no one will be left behind.
