I will be in the Women’s March in Kennebunk on Jan. 21, standing with the Women’s March in Washington, because women make up the majority of the population of our country and women’s rights are human rights.

Among these rights are the right to express one’s deeply held beliefs freely, and for every individual to be treated with dignity. As women and as Americans, we will continue to claim our rightful place in this our country, our home, and vow to live our lives with dignity.
