Barbara Sloan

I’m marching because it has never been more important to support the needs and rights of women and children, especially in healthcare and the right to determine the destiny of one’s own body. I’m marching because the elderly and disabled need a voice to protect Medicare, Medicaid and the ACA from being gutted and replaced…

Heather Bender

My name is Heather and I am disabled. I am not physically able to join my six family members who are traveling from Ohio to Washington DC to march. I am joining the Disability March online because I believe that each and every person has the right to fight for what they believe in. Women’s…

I ‘march’  because I am a queer socialist…

Aya Smallwood
