I’m joining the Disability March because due to Chronic Lyme Disease, I have limited energy and physical mobility. This action lets me feel like I am still a part of the national protest against “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.” As a chronic illness advocate, I believe this is the type of accessible action we need to see more often. Visibility is important.
