As a self employed artist for 30 years, health insurance has always been a struggle to obtain. We had affordable health access in Minnesota, which saved the life of my husband when he was diagnosed with a life threatening rare disease and then, ultimately my oldest daughter who, it also turned out,  had the same…

Why I am joining the disability march on Washington is because  I am a wounded warrior and combat veteran. I was injured in Iraq and now I am retired, but I have titanium rods in my back and legs. I also, wear leg braces. I also, suffer from many medical issues and I cannot walk…

I’m joining this march because I have multiple autoimmune diseases, PCOS, bipolar, and complex PTSD. I want healthcare to be affordable for everyone. It should be a basic human right, not just a privilege for the wealthy. I’m a nursing student called to be a priest in the Episcopal Church. My hope is to bring…

At the last march I participated in–a Black Lives Matter rally in…

I’m joining the march because Trump is not a clear representation of the United States of America as a whole.  Trump has appointed inadequate cabinet members for the fields they have been selected to protect and progress.  His actions show that he has no concern for the U.S.A. as a whole.  I’m of the U.S.A….

I am joining the Disability March because I am dismayed by the behavior and decisions of the President-elect since November 8th.  His reactionary tweets, whenever anyone says something even remotely critical, are completely immature and disgraceful.  Nearly ever individual chosen for his cabinet is not only unqualified but openly opposed to the department they have…

I believe that that we must stand up for women’s rights, human rights, immigrant rights, that Black Lives Matter, and that love is stronger than hate.  I believe that no matter what, there is still love and hope and humor, and we can resist together, be allies to each other, and stay true to who we…
