Women have equal worth to men and should have equal rights, equal pay and equal respect. I would love to march in person but my health keeps me at home most of the time. I am thankful for the opportunity to join the march online.  I have been disabled by chronic illness for 10 years….

My partner and I were planning to join the march in D.C. but had to cancel due to financial constraints and shaky health–we are both at home batting sinus infections. And for me, these last 7 months of surgery, medical tests, and infections have taken a toll on my body; so though I am heartbroken…

I am a queer woman suffering from PTSD following domestic violence and sexual assault. Due to my anxiety and agoraphobia, I cannot fly to DC, and may not be able to march locally. I am joining the disability march because I would not be alive today if I had not had access to affordable health…

The entire year of 2016 was a year of frustration for me, and especially after the election. I wanted to go out and protest and show my solidarity, but my disabilities make that dangerous at best, out right impossible at worst. I want to appear at the march this Saturday in St. Louis with my…

We are joining the Disability March in honor of our 5 month old daughter with Down Syndrome. As I write this we are with her in the pediatric unit of a hospital while our daughter recovers from open heart surgery for a congenital heart defect. We march for her to advocate for her so that…

I have been a human rights activist for 50 years. I retired in 1914 due to increasing debility from fibromyalgia. It drains me daily of endurance and I have pain in places I never know one could have pain. I grew up during desegregation in the south and supported the principles that all are created…
