2025 Trip To DC To Protest Healthcare Funding Cuts

By Andrea Menzies

I went to Washington DC to protest healthcare cuts, and join future political protesting. America is not “left wing” or “right wing” now it is “Clown Car On Fire Wing” metaphorically speaking. The media says Americans are not protesting, but they are just not covering much of it. I hate Trump’s government. It is crushing women’s healthcare back to medieval times and this is why I am joining the Feminist Alliance Women’s March. American people must use our rights to protest before they are taken away. I stayed in hotels and traveled hours as I also wanted to see more peak bloom cherry trees, and panda bears at the zoo in addition to protest. However I got COVID right before traveling, and I have had asthma since birth so it destroyed my right to political protesting in many ways. This will not be my last try at protest and travel. I have hated Richmond, VA with every ounce of my soul since the year I stepped foot here as the town only has raping, beating, ugly, and abusive men to date. I had many long term relationships in other towns, and the lack of companionship is agony. Now I have even more reasons to leave for political protesting needs. As the photos prove I will travel hours to escape the nightmare happening in the world around me.
