I want to be involved but can’t walk that far. I can’t afford to be at the march myself. I cannot take time off work. All I know is that I cannot tolerate what is happening in Washington. I rely on Social Security Disability because of experiencing a mental illness. The prospect of what lies ahead chills me to the bone. Trump’s answer to almost everything is “free market”, the rich get richer and the poor get screwed.

My passion is disability rights. I have been advocating for myself and others with disabilities since being forced to leave my employment because my insurance would no longer cover my health care.
