Until I saw information about the Disability March, I didn’t realize how sad I was at not being able to participate in person. I cried when I read the article about this opportunity!

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. I’m extremely fortunate to have medication that I take daily to manage the cancer. But the side effects, including fatigue and nausea, make marching for more than fifty yards impossible. (If there’s ever a Women’s Fifty Yard March, count me in!) 

 The virtual march allows those of us with debilitating health issues to show-up and make our voices heard. It allows us to stand in solidarity with our siblings, sisters and brothers who are taking the message to Trump that we won’t go quietly backwards down the path of regressive, oppressive policies. 

Cory Booker, at the hearing to confirm Jeff Sessions, said, “The arc of the moral universe does not just naturally curve towards justice; we must bend it.” Friends, let’s get to bending that arc!
