I have never before felt a sense of urgency as I do now. The possibility for constructive social change is palpable and it’s in the process of manifesting in our collective actions which bespeak of a readiness to unify and support one another as a National body–as beautiful, as it’s vision is compassionate, unwavering and strong. I come from a lineage of human beings who have fought and sacrificed their lives for civil liberties across the globe– from Eastern Europe, The Middle East, and North America.
Rather than succumb to the feelings of failure and shame in my body that is unable to withstand the physical conditions of this historical moment, where our civil liberties, human rights, and future hang in the balance, I choose to unite alongside my comrades in cyberspace alongside everyone else seeking a full life in dignity, free from oppression. Now, as we’ve always done, we move forth in our mission and this important work come what may. I am frightened, yes. But I am also hopeful and honored to have this chance to represent my family and my community, and to proclaim “we matter! we will not be silent nor complacent in the face of injustice and suffering, and in the face of tyranny and separatism, we proclaim UNITY!”
Hilary’s Bio
I’m an autistic writer, philosopher, artist, spouse, and parent who home-educates my three neurodiverse children. I’ve taken up blogging and begun to express my thoughts and feelings about autism, mental health, gender, chronic pain, chronic illness, disability, and civil rights in visuals and writing. My calling is to not only give my children the best of myself so they can grow up to be confident, caring, and empowered adults but to be an artist advocate and story teller flowering forth work that represents and/or supports the diversity of life experiences of those of us in the IDD community. Along my journey, I hope to reach other Autistic parents with my blog, Healing Hilary’s Heart: A Facebook Parent With Autism. https://healinghilarysheart.wordpress.com/about/
Disability March 
Reblogged this on Healing Hilary's Heart and commented:
I had wanted to physically march in Cleveland since it was beyond any of my means to make it to Washington DC. I couldn’t march in Cleveland, but, I did find the Disability March, for citizens who because of physical and mental circumstances could not make it out. This is going up on my WordPress today, the day of the march. Follow the links to see all of the other protesters, hear the stories, and stay up -to -date with future projects.
