My multiple sclerosis prevents me from participating in the local march in Memphis, TN or in Washington D.C.  My heart and spirit will be marching with everyone. God bless as we stand against this administration in support of women’s rights, LBGT, civil rights, the disabled, the climate, our children, etc. I stand with every woman…

I am both physically (asthma, bad feet) and mentally disabled (ADHD and depression), and would not be able to attend the event anyway, but I would love to show my support. I am a college student in a conservative area who is not afraid to show their support for feminism, body autonomy, LGBT rights, and…

I am joining the march to honor my three daughters, granddaughter, & great granddaughter, my grandson & the women & men in our lives. I want them all to live in a world where women & others who are different from them are respected and have equal opportunity to live as they wish, are free…

I can’t go to the march on 1/21/17 because I am disabled, due to multiple sclerosis. That’s me on the left. My niece Lanny will be marching in Bellingham, WA. I participate because I am in favor of women’s rights, the rights of religious, ethnic and racial minorities, rights of the disabled, rights of members…

Hillary Tupper

I’m joining the disability march because I fear I won’t have the strength/stamina to even attend my local Syracuse in Solidarity rally. It hurts my heart because I want so badly to be with – no STAND with, the women and men who share both my beliefs, anger, and fears. SLE (Lupus) is the primary…

Mies Chiang and Elizabeth Spaar

My son Mies and I cannot attend the march because of Mies’s autism and vision impairment but we stand opposed to this administration’s policies of discrimination against people with disabilities, women, people of color and so many more. Parents in the autism community know a lot about having to fight the powers that be to…

“She”

As someone with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and serious noise sensitivities, I won’t be marching physically. I do appreciate this on-line alternative to protests Trump’s appalling insensitivities to people with disabilities, people of color, women in general, Muslims, and anyone who opposes his views.

I feel the Disability March is important. For too long, those of us with disabilities are forgotten, pushed to the side, left out, and left behind. It’s time to put an end to this. Many of us can do what the non-disabled can do, and in some cases, do it better, because of our superior…

Leslie Henrickson

I am not able to participate physically in the Women’s March because I’m in a wheelchair, due to my MS.  But I want to be involved because I believe strongly in rights for all women! Leslie was born in 1942 and grew up in Clinton, NY.  She spent much of her adult life in Brantingham,…
