What unites people is empathy ... So I'm asking random strangers to sign and let me know what they're marching for, so I can march for my rights and theirs."

We're people, we can change this." and 75-year-old Kay Rose from Boston, MA: "I just feel like we're still in serious Jim Crow in the justice system. It's just outrageous. It's time for it to end."

Pictured: Deborah Searfoss from Virginia: "I work for detained immigrant children as a case manager for kids who are unaccompanied . I don't believe there should be a wall blocking them a way from coming in and trying to seek a better life. There's chaos and violence in their country and it's our mission as the United States, built on immigrants, to let them in, house them, and help them."

It instantly hit me, do something about your husband!" At the bottom of her sign was a picture of her sister, who died in 2009. "I will always march with my sister," Cynthia said.
