Cory: "I made a donation to Planned Parenthood as a gift to my mother for Christmas. I thought I would be going to an inauguration. It has been a really energetic couple of months on the Internet. I want to see what transpires in person.”

Jennifer: "When I was a young woman, I wrote an article about a casino owner. The casino owner phoned my editor and called me the ‘c’ word -- which I think is the most vile and disrespectful term.  And now that casino owner is going to be president. I also thought I would be going to the inauguration with my daughter. We almost had the first female president and now instead we have a misogynist."

 

Elizabeth Beskin + Corey Greenblatt

pre-march on washington0179"Thirty years ago I attended the Pro-Choice march in Washington. The moment I heard about this march I signed up and organized a bus to D.C. I am going again to support a woman's right to choose but also because of the Affordable Care Act. My son has type 1 diabetes. He has a "pre-existing" condition.  I want to hold this new president accountable and I want to scream and shout with my gay, straight and multi-racial friends and let him know we will not be silenced." - Elizabeth Beskin (Mother) is a business owner and she will be participating in the Women's March on Washington in D.C. "I am a 24 year old type 1 diabetic. I am in public health Master's program at Columbia University and I am living at home. My current job does not give me health benefits. The Affordable Care Act allows me to have health coverage and continue to work towards my Masters degree in healthcare policy analysis. My goal is to help design healthcare policies. I am going to the march because it is the right thing to do." - Corey Greenblatt (Son) is studying to earn a Masters in Public Health from Columbia University and will be marching in D.C. on Saturday.

Jacqueline Rickard-2"I plan to go to one of the Women's Marches next week.  I don't want to sit at home feeling victimized because of how the election went.  I want to do something positive and make sure things that I value, like a woman's right to choose and affordable health care act are upheld. I like that the marches are inclusive and a way for women to show their strength and power and effectiveness." Jacqueline Rickard is a business owner.
