Why I Am Joining The March: Whilst currently holding down a four day a week job, I do not have the energy to travel and march in London today as I would have liked. I am joining the disability march in solidarity for people who feel fearful for their well being as we go into…

I am marching (virtually) in hope that my four amazing nieces will keep the rights my great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother’s generations fought for and to which I have been privileged.

Why I am joining the march: The President of the USA has power that extends way beyond the USA. His hateful agenda affects the whole world. I am bisexual, queer, chronically ill, and Pagan. I have family of both blood and soul here and in the USA who are all of the above, and transgender,…

As you can see from this photo, I was very happy to have my picture taken with him too. At the time, I was a 14-year-old girl in Middle School. Middle…

I am joining the disability march because I am a human. The current president of the US doesn’t think so, because my way of Woman-ness includes diverse tomboy behaviors and crashing about in a wheelchair. Poor fellow probably hasn’t seen my type much. Would seeing me change his mind about my individual humanity? Nah, probably…
