Carrie Heeter

Living with MS for 41 years leaves me unable to stand for more than a few minutes — but we all must stand against Trump’s threats to personal and civil liberty, to science and knowledge, to a free press, to compassion, diversity and love. Website: http://carrie.seriousgames.msu.edu

Sophia

My name is Sophia and I am an autistic woman with chronic pain. I am marching because my health care is in jeopardy. I’m in medicine necessary for my survival, and necessary for me to parent my two daughters. Trump is not the right choice for the White House. I march in the hopes that…

Rachel Donelson

I have severe endometriosis as well as IC which makes every day life debilitating due to chronic pain. Long distance walks are nearly impossible for me to physically do without being put into excruciating pain. But I so badly wanted to be apart of this incredible March and movement. I am a crisis counselor for…

Things that you have never thought about before, like walking up 3 steps, can…

Sofia Grace

I am 33 years old and I live in New York. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and walk with the assistance of crutches. I try to view my crutches, my disability as a gift but this is admittedly, sometimes difficult because of the limitations others impose on me and the assumptions that are made….

Kyla Schuller

I join the fight for LGBT rights, prison abolition, a $15 minimum wage, free healthcare and college tuition, police accountability, disability rights, and sex work legalization.

Besame

I march metaphorically because the world I support is inclusive, kind, and moves forward on the progress we’ve made. I believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to grow and that society should nurture our gifts and talents. Disabled from Lyme disease, I am unable to participate in the streets due to the cold rainy weather…
