Why I Am Joining The March : I have been challenged by Rheumatoid Arthritis for nearly 40 years. I was 19 when I was diagnosed. Recently I was knocked down by a big St. Bernard dog and broke my hip. If not for the recent injury, I would be going to the March in Boston. So many of us have disabilities and we struggle silently through life, uncomplaining and accepting the challenge. Donald Trump, through his words and actions makes plain how he feels about the disabled. He is a misogynist, against LGBT rights, against Planned Parenthood. He shoots from the hip and makes his own rules. I March along with my fellow physically challenged sisters and brothers to let him, his cabinet, the Congress and all Americans know that we see how he regards us and we will not be disrespected by him or his followers.
