I am joining the march because as a biracial, queer, ciswoman who has a disability, Spina Bifida (along with a plethora of other diagnoses — level T-12 paraplegia, hydrocephalus, scoliosis, and more), I am deeply concerned for my health, well-being, and basic rights over these next four years. Disability rights are human rights. The rights of racial minorities are human rights. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. Women’s rights are human rights. We exist, and we will not be silent.
