My fibromyalgia keeps me from walking with the Women’s March on Washington.  I am joining the virtual disability march to demonstrate solidarity with the vision and purpose of the Women’s March on Washington.  Women’s rights are human rights and human rights are women’s rights.  Justice for women is inextricably tied to racial justice and economic justice.
