I am joining this march because being born disabled shouldn’t be a reason for people with more capacity to hold you hostage to your limitations. Just because I cannot physically march due to my health status, doesn’t mean that I should sit by and let others with little understanding of my disability control my life….

When I was born the baby cards said “too bad it’s a girl. I have knocked heads with people telling what girls can’t do for 66 years now. In the 70’s I marched for the ERA, and said “yes I can” to live my life, have a “non traditional career” and live by my principles….

While my spirit will be with all who march tomorrow, I needed to feel that I am participating in a more active manner. I am unable to march due to severe osteo-arthritis in both knees. Were it not for that disability, I would be marching in Chicago tomorrow. I am very grateful for this chance…

I would like to be added to the March as I am unable to attend the DC or Boston March due to a recent hip fracture, I have fought against rheumatoid arthritis for 40 years and gratefully have gone on disability income from time to time, though have pretty much stayed employed and productive for…

I march to support the equality our nation so desperately needs in the times ahead. I march to protect the rights we have, the rights we need, and the rights we hope to achieve. I march for progress. I speak up about Sjogren’s Syndrome, Raynaud’s Phenomenon, Lupus, and other autoimmune conditions as I figure out…

I am from DC, but presently having chemotherapy treatments in Portland, Oregon and I cannot march Saturday, but wish to be there in spirit. This is my own ‘kitty cat hat’ since I am an Orthodox Christian nun and always wear my habit. Thank you for making room for me.

I attend a woman’s college, although it is not a women’s only college. Many of our students are trans men, gender fluid or non bianary. I love this community and it’s given me an opportunity to flourish. I hope to go into education so that I can teach a more accurate history of the US…

I planned until this evening to join the sister march in Oakland tomorrow, even though I have serious balance and mobility issues due to arthritis, and use a walker to get around. I have just been talking with a neighbor who is going, who managed to make me see the light. It’s just not realistic…

I am joining the disability march because I am really concerned for Americans and their lack of universal health care.  I know it affects women as carers as well those dealing with their own disability or chronic illnesses.  Like many across the world and in the USA, I cannot go to a march today.
