I am currently recovering from late-stage neurological Lyme disease, and I can’t physically March just yet. But, I want to be involved. Thank you for this opportunity!

As a woman with a disability, the mother of children with disabilities, advocate of persons with disabilities and…

I am joining the march to protect Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid, and to protect our planet (water, air, soil) from the fossil fuel industry. I am 68 yrs old and broke my hip in 2015. No more marching in DC for me.
