I am joining for myself, my friends, and everyone with a disability because we deserve to be heard even though it’s hard for us to attend in person. I am a chronically ill, multiply handicapped 21 year old. I am a fighter, a survivor. I am a member of Miracle League and the leader of…

Why I am marching: I don’t have anything eloquent to say. I am angry. I am tired. I am terrified. I march for those I love, who are equally angry, tired, and terrified about what the next four years may bring, for what rights we may lose. We must stand strong together.

I’m joining the disability march because I stand in solidarity with my fellow marginalized people. If the repeal of the ACA happens, myself and a number of my friends will die – it’s not a matter of if but when. We must move forward as a society with resistance towards our oppressors.
