I wish to participate in the Women’s March on Washington but can’t because of disability. I oppose President Trump for his views on women and can’t participate because I have severe osteoarthritis that makes walking even a few steps very painful. I’m a university adjunct teaching English online and on the side write Amish romance…

I am joining the Disability March because disability discrimination and disrespect, bigotry, racism, homophobia, misogyny, etc. have no place in the White House, in government, or in our country.   Repealing the Affordable Care Act is harmful to people with disabilities, preexisting conditions, and all those who will lose their health insurance. I have ME/CFS…

Because of my lupus and Hashimoto’s disease I knew I’d never manage physically marching, but I stand in solidarity with all those in this country who are fearful and anxious. I march for woman and people of color, for lgbtq, for disabled rights, freedom of religion, freedom of press, freedom to choose. But mostly I…

I am marching for the rights of all people in this country, but especially for the individuals and communities whose humanity is being attacked, devalued, and denied. I am a woman, a bisexual, a rape survivor, a trauma survivor, and someone who suffers from chronic mental and physical health challenges. It has never been an…

Like many survivors of violence, I’ve felt unsafe to exist in my own vulnerable human body (especially as a disabled woman); to use my voice or to feel. Unsafe to exist…

My mother Marian Perz would have wanted to march if she could.  She lived in a hospital bed in my living room for 8 years after a stroke and died at 92 last November.  She would have wanted to lift up elderly disabled people–especially women who are often the majority of nursing home residents– where…

Because I thought by now everyone would have basic human rights.

I am a feminist disabled single mom who subsists on social security. My ex also recently became disabled, so my children rely on social security for child support. I am intelligent, resourceful and kind. I’m virtually marching for myself and for my family and friends who may be be targeted financially and physically. I believe…

I am a support worker for people with disabilities and I also have an invisible disability. Today while watching the inauguration at work someone I support with a developmental delay, who is not very politically interested, laughed and scoffed at Trump’s speech. I asked him why he was laughing and he told me that he…
