I’d like to join the Disability March because I cannot participate in rallies or protests live, but feel no less strongly about the danger to basic civil rights of all Americans that are being threatened by the current political climate, in particular by the actions and rhetoric of Donald Trump and his cabinet.

I am joining the march because I have been in deep denial since November 9, 2016. I am afraid for our country. I am afraid that we will lose what we have worked hard to achieve over the years. I am joining because I ache for those that will be dangerously affected by a new…

I’m joining this virtual march in protest of the election of Donald Trump. He is a dangerous and unpredictable man who has gone too far.
