I have a Ph.D. in psychology and was pursuing a career as a therapist before my illness forced me to go on disability. I have a severe autoimmune disease that comes with (among other things) immunoglobulin deficiency, systemic inflammatory arthritis, and chronic fatigue.

I am joining the disability march to make my voice heard and show my support for those physically marching. I live with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, and am recovering from multiple pulmonary embolisms. I march for healthcare, reproductive rights, LGBT rights, arts and education, and the knowledge that my America is a safe home for people…

I march virtually, now that I am old and ill, as I have so many times in the past in reality, to help form a better understanding of what it means to be a free and tolerant country. Despair and fear should never lead us to promote racism, misogyny, and prejudice against people with disabilities,…

I am joining this march for several reasons: – the rights of women are under threat from both the incoming administration and Congress and that is a double-barreled disaster – the President-Elect is a narcissist and a danger to our freedom and democracy – the proposed cabinet is collectively a group of unqualified people with…

Being a woman with an invisible illness and having 4 children I can not march. My body tires about 10 times faster than a healthy body. I am joining the March because this is the biggest civil rights attack in many generations. I refuse to lose ground on the rights of POC, Women, Healthcare, Religious…
