Fired up Marysville woman, 67, will join March on Washington
Nila Horton has never marched for a cause. She hasnt been active in politics. Yet on Jan. 21, just after Inauguration Day, she plans to stand with thousands in Washington, D.C., to support diversity, equality, womens rights and a unified nation.
On Monday, the Marysville woman attended a meeting of people organizing the Womens March on Seattle or planning to attend the Womens March on Washington.
This has fired me up. It will send a message to those who intend to divide us, said Horton, 67, a mental health counselor in Everett. Planned in the aftermath of last weeks presidential election, the marches are a wake-up call for me, Horton said.
We have to say we dont want human rights to be eroded, not on our watch, said Horton, who went to the meeting in Seattle with her husband, Jim Reidy. They now have tickets to fly to Washington, D.C., the day before the march although with the inauguration Jan. 20, they have yet to find an affordable hotel room.
