Tatiana Gerowitz

I am submitting this on behalf of my sister, who suffered a traumatic accident and is in the hospital. She would have marched had she been able, so I am adding her to this amazing group of individuals. On January 4th of this year, my sister Tatiana was in a terrible car accident on an…

Alayne Fenasci – The Brilliant Life

I am joining the disability march because I can’t be in Washington DC to join the physical march. I am currently disabled, and I only receive medical treatment because of the expanded Medicaid program.

I’m Jen. I am joining the march because of the chronic “invisible” diseases I have. Pseudotumor Ceberi, Fibromylgia, Anxiety disorders, depression. Chronic pain. I have been dealing with these for years now and I feel like the doctors don’t take them seriously enough. I am standing up for equality for all, disabled seen or unseen,…

By advocating for an accessible and inclusive America we can be sure that…

Shoshona McAvoy

I love this opportunity.  My mom will march in our local Women’s March, but I am confined to a hospital bed for most of the time. (She is my typist, too; and does help me with editing…but the thoughts and beliefs are mine.) My name is Shoshana McAvoy. I was born with brain damage and…
