Why I’m Joining the March: I’ve always been appalled by injustice, even as a child. But my ability to be part of protests and marches was first limited by being a minor, then a student, and now a disabled adult. I just so desperately want true equality and acceptance; equal opportunities, equal treatment, equal value…

I’ve been battling Reactive Airway Disease (or a variant of asthma) for 2 months. It makes it difficult to go outside in the cold air and I get short of breath and exhausted very easy. I have had to take tons of medications and avoid many things I enjoy. In addition to this, I’ve had chronic…

I am joining the disability march because I cannot physically join The Women’s March on Washington.  Sending the message to the incoming administration that even those of us who cannot march are still proclaiming our support for the idea that treating people as less than is an unconscionable act. I am Karin Odegard. A mother,…

I’m joining this March because I want very much to be present in Washington D.C. but am physically unable to do that kind of a trip now. I’m a disabled, lesbian, first generation Hungarian-American, and a former American Sign Language/English interpreter, and I know that many disabled people (possibly myself included) may die because of…

Here is my mom, Joan.  She did not want Trump to win because he was so hateful.  She was in the hospital for election day and unable to vote.  Joan believes in being nice and respecting other people.  Joan helped everyone she could.  Now let’s help Joan by not cutting services for the disabled and…

I would be marching today were I not currently battling Lyme.  Trump will lead this country backwards, not forwards.  He is spreading hate and ignorance, and too many of his followers are taking violent or threatening action.  I am deeply frightened of where this country is heading, and I have to stand up and fight…

I desperately wanted to join my sister at the march in Washington, but I couldn’t walk that far due to mobility issues. I’m glad to have the opportunity to participate virtually, since my heart is already there with my sister. I am an adjunct instructor of writing in Boston.

I want to join the march to stand with my fellow Americans who want to keep our country safe for all of its residents. I want to show that I stand with my fellow human, especially those like myself with invisible disabilities. We deserve equal treatment, we deserve a quality education, and we deserve life…

I am unable to physically be at the march & also physically unable to walk in it. I’m thankful for this option! I join the march not only for myself, but also for my diverse family. I’ve lived during only 5 presidential administrations & this is the first time I’ve felt genuine fear for my…
