Photo shows a white girl with shaved head and glasses, wearing a yellow hoodie, and a colorful hat and scarf.  One hand is visible in front of her face, wearing a no slip fingerless glove, and two rainbow bracelets, which read ‘Autistic’ and ‘Cripplepunk’.  She is displaying a primary colored hairy tangle to the camera.

I am an autistic, mentally ill, and physically disabled eighteen year old girl, as well as a wheelchair user.

Why I’m marching: I am disabled, amongst so many other things that put
me in marginalized groups, and I am scared.  I am scared for myself
and everyone I care about, I am scared for everyone this presidency is
going to impact, and I am scared because so often, the disabled
community is the first to be attacked, and said attacks go unnoticed far too often.
