“It was refreshing and a boost of love.”

Asra Husain-Mohammed: I was astounded not only to see the sheer number of people that turned out, but just how congenial everyone was and how orderly things were. There was no violence, there was nothing disrespectful. Only uplifting speakers and motivating sing alongs. This was the strongest sisterhood event I’ve ever been to.

Rasha Abulohom: The moment I walked up the metro station escalator and saw the crowd, I was almost in tears. I felt safe. Everyone was nice and smiling. We all had one thing or another that hit a spot; women rights, disability, LGBT, Muslims, BLM…etc., but we realized it all falls under the same umbrella “human rights.” It was refreshing and a boost of love.

Crystal Psyche: I attended the march in Seattle Washington. I spent the day before the march crying and feeling as though I was alone in my fear of this upcoming administration. At the march, I witnessed such a massive surge of humans from all walks of life coming together and raising their voices for equality and love. I am less scared about our future because now I know that there are so many people who care. I will do everything in my power to support local groups to keep this momentum going. I will continue to fight as I hope others will also.
