"""In We March for You, readers will find the march for change is beautiful, strong, wise, and welcoming. In this book's procession, readers will be accompanied by Penny's words, Raquel's paintings, and by the good company of Rosa, Maya, J.K., Emma, Anne, and a host of other women's voices that call us out from our houses, out from our fears, out from our isolation to join the march. Open the book, read this beauty, and set forth."" Kim Stafford, Oregon Poet Laureate."
