“There’s a very famous phrase in the Captain America comics. It’s the ‘No, you move’ quote. And it’s more relevant today than I think ever before. And it’s basically about the one premise that is most important to this nation and that is to stand up for what you believe no matter the odds or consequences. So when the whole world tells you that something wrong is something right, you tell the whole world no you move.”
Kristin James, Arlignton, Va.
“My sign says legalize love because I think we really need love in a time, state like this. We need to all come together and love each other, love the universe, love our planet, the sun. We are all here in this together. And we need to just bring out the god in each other and uplift each other and be the people that we were here to be. The people that god wants us to be, ultimately. And the root of that is love and not hate, and we can move forward.”
Melissa de Rueyes, Chicago
“I’m here because I’m not afraid and I’m here to support the women’s march. I’m a woman and human rights are also undocumented rights.”
Soumeya Benghanem, Fairfax, Va.
“The struggle we have today, we’ve had before, so that’s what my sign is about. 'We the resilient have been here before.’”

Rest in Power, Edward Crawford.
“Crawford is the second high-profile Ferguson protestors to be found dead of gunshot wounds in recent months. Darren Seals, a well-known activist in the community, was found shot dead in a burning car on September 2016. His case remains unsolved. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, a member of the Missouri Senate, tweeted her belief that Ferguson protestors are being hunted.”
“Crawford’s father Edward Sr. told the Post-Dispatch that he died of a gunshot wound, which police are treating as self-inflicted. Crawford Sr. told the newspaper that his son had been in “good spirits,” recently, and was in the midst of training for a new job and moving in to a new apartment.”
