Unable to join the March in Washington D.C. due to chronic health issues. I’m joining the march because it is so very important to be on the right side of history, and that is exactly why this march is so important. Always forward, never back.

I am joining the march for the military service members who were and are still being victimized by Military Sexual Trauma (MST). I am joining the march because I want survivors of MST to know we are better than those who work to blame, ridicule, and silence. Laurie can be found here.

I’m joining the March because I love my country and feel that the incoming administration is a danger to America and the world. As a healthcare worker, I know first hand how beneficial the ACA is to people and will fight in anyway I can to stop it from being repealed!

Since my health won’t allow me to attend the march, though I would so much love to be there, I want it known that Donald Trump is not the President this country deserves. I was a daughter to two loving parents, a mother to two beautiful children and an early feminist activist. My life has been…

Thanks to the Disability March, those of us like myself can still have a voice even though we can’t be there physically. Now more than ever we need to stick together and fight!
