I am a widow and a mother of three school aged kids. I am disabled and require life-long medical care and last year I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I rely on medicaid to stay alive and care for my children. My children rely on medicaid as well. One of my children has autism. The…

I kept hoping that I would have an extraordinarily good day and be able to go to the nearby March in Washington for an hour. I am not nearly well enough to go now and 30 years experience tells me that that it won’t change by tomorrow for the March. That’s because of chronic fatigue…

As a disabled person, I am scared of what the next 4 years will bring. If I could be in Washington, I would be there to support the disabled, the LGBTQ of America and everyone else at risk. We can’t afford to sit by and do nothing while the politicians destroy us. I have LGBTQ…

This is a photo of my grandson and I at Universal Studios. It was taken 4 years ago. Since then a lot has changed in the world. I have had to explain to my grandson how a man with such disrespect for women could be elected president of the United States. My disability does not…

There is video proof.)…

I am joining the Disability March to be with my sisters and brothers in spirit and complete the circle of strength to stand up for equal rights and decency for all.  Why I march:I am a middle aged,young at heart women, living in NW CT. I have lived through the fight for equal rights and…

My objection to Donald Trump’s presidency have nothing to do with policy and everything with his character! I could get over bad policies but he’s an amateur in politics and doesn’t seem to want to learn government procedures. Plus a president is supposed to lead ALL Americans, yet he belittles entire communities of people. He…
