Jeane

I am joining the disability march because…. I believe in loving ALL people created in God’s image, that all of us are created equal, that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Jeanne Kinnard

I’m joining the march to take a stand against hate.  I want to show Trump’s supporters, as well as the rest of the world, that Trump’s vile speech and behavior do not represent what most Americans believe in.   I want to continue the fight against racism, misogyny, and ableism. My disabilities prevent me from joining in the…

Hi, I’m Lisa P, and I’ve been hoping to participate in our local march in Oregon. It’s likely my chronic migraines will keep me home, so I’m very happy to be represented here! I’m marching for equal human rights for all who are opressed or marginalized with a personal focus on affordability and accessibility to…

Gwyndyn T. Alexander

I’m a feminist, activist poet. I’ve been fighting for equal rights for all for the last thirty years. My health and my finances won’t allow me to put feet in the streets, but I am with you all in spirit, and fighting every way I can. The internet can serve as an amplifier for our voices,…

E.B. Wolfe

I feel helpless. Betrayed. First by my body, and now by my country. I did not ask for the autoimmune  diseases and PTSD that rule my life. I struggle every day with feeling useless. Now I find that my very existence, both health care, and the disability money I get that pays * only part*…

Meghan T.

My reasoning isn’t as visible but just as understandable. My heart and soul support everything about this but crippling anxiety keeps me inside. But I’ll be damned if this is the world my niece grows up in. I’m a new game engineer just trying to figure it all out.

As someone with a disability, I feel the need to take a stand. Donald Trump, a man who mocks the disabled, who lost the popular vote, and who is frankly dangerous and unethical, is not the President that America deserves. This is a man who is celebrated by the KKK and anyone who prefers to…
