I’m joining the disability march because I want to join the Women’s March on Washington, but am prevented from doing so due to my fibromyalgia. Even though I’m mostly mobile, walking long distances and standing for too long is exhausting – and I can only imagine what the technical impossibility of driving down, finding parking,…

I am joining the disability march because I had a hysterectomy on the 19th and will be unable to march in person so soon after surgery. I am a grant coordinator for the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. I’m a passionate defender of human rights, especially reproductive rights, the right to education, and the…

I am marching because I believe in Freedom. Equality. Democracy! I am 90 years old and have never wavered in my belief on dignity.  I am blind but I CAN SEE.

I have multiple medical issues including Fibromyalgia and am on disibility. My son &…

I am joining the disability march because I believe America is for ALL the people – the adults and the children who will follow us on this Earth (if we don’t destroy it), for people of all abilities, cultures and religions, all marital statuses and gender identities.  But I am especially marching for those, like…

I am unable to march due to severe sciatica. I send my thoughts to those Washington marchers and to marchers all over the world. We must unite for fairness, justice, access to care and to counteract hate. I want my grandsons to live in a safe and international world, and I want to give credit…
