Because of my sleeping disorder, Hypersomnia, I unfortunately can’t attend the Women’s March in Washington or my local march in Portland but I’m honored to be represented through the online disabilities march! I am so impressed by the overall support millions are showing through the march for those affected by intersectionality at this point in history.

I am marching virtually in support of the masses of people who are threatened by this election and the dangers Tr*mp, his office, and his supporters pose. I am marching to take a stand against the continued oppression of women, people of color and diverse cultures, immigrants, LGBT+, transgendered, the disabled, the poor. I am marching to take a stand against normalizing sexism, xenophobia, rape, homophobia, and white supremacy. I am marching because sitting idly by isn’t an option.
