Kim Hall Why I Am Joining The March: As a woman, I march to be a light and to let my own light shine. As a sister, I march for all of us who know that our value is in how well we take care of each other – not how much we take for ourselves. As a mother, I…

Why I Am Joining The March: I’m joining the disability march because I will NOT be silenced by fear.
