Claire Scaggs

I am a disabled woman living in south Texas. I have epilepsy and I’m bipolar along with other ailments. I am also a rape survivor and a proud Latina. This election has been hard on me as a marginalized person but I refuse to remain silent. I will continue to revolt until every voice is…

Leah Hanson

I am joining the march because I believe in the power of women. And women’s voices have been silenced for far too long. I believe in healthcare and reproductive rights for all. I believe in equal pay and equal opportunity for all. I am a young professional with a spinal cord injury; I rely on…

Mary

As someone who works with disability in public schools and grew up with disability in the family, as a woman, and as a minority, I stand with the disempowered and vulnerable. There are people who feel threatened in their own home country as rights may be taken away and who feel like family abroad may…

Diana Troldahl

I am joining the virtual march because I need to be heard. Too many of those I love will be impacted by the greed-focused changes taking place. I am a creator of various things, (book reviews, knitting patterns, random meals) who is heartsick at the potential for harm headed our way vi this administration. I…

Jules Tunnera

I’m Jules, I am 19 years old. I am joining this march because unlike any other “normal” young adult, I suffer from extreme fatigue and  debilitating joint pain that would prevent me from participating in a local march. As a huge advocate for women’s / poc’s / lgbtqa* rights, I’m grateful there is a way…

Gail Merle Feldman/Genessa Tsipporah Feldman

I am joining the disability march because I cannot get a ride to the nearest local march, nor do I have a wheelchair, so if I DID go I would be in pain in short order from my fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy and arthritis, and before long my asthma would kick in too — but I…

Robin Sentell

  I join the march because it’s time to take a stand against misogyny, ideology that punishes and objectifies women for being women, racism, xenophobia, and finally, predatory capitalism. How we treat those who need us the most is the most profound statement about ourselves as people and as a nation. America can do better. …

Rebecca Price

I’m joining the disability march after a rough 7 weeks. I had an abdominal hysterectomy and second surgery and I am still not fully healed. I tire way to easily for walking long distances. I am doing this because to me, silence is consent. I do not consent to the way our current president campaigned,…

Joleigh Kirkland

I marched for the ERA and Women’s reproductive rights in the past because I had a teenage daughter.  I wanted to believe we were beyond this, but, sad to say, we are here once again.  What is they say about history repeating itself?  Now I have a teenage granddaughter and wish I could march for her…
