I am joining the March because I’m a disabled woman with a degenerative disease for which there is no cure. I march to erase the stigmatism of disabled people everywhere that President Elect Trump mocks and perpetuates.

I am an activist and a student. I can’t attend the march because my beautiful puppy chewed my glasses, so no driving for me for awhile. I am protesting this intolerable assault on American democratic ideals and our principles of fairness and equality. This was my first election ever, and as a young mentally-ill, queer,…

I am unable to attend a march because it is difficult for me to walk long distances. However, I believe that it is our right and responsibility as citizens of a democracy to speak up, to protest, to rally, to riot when we see our country moving away from progress. I march to continue toward…

Hi there! My name is Alyssum. I used to have lots of stomach pains growing up. After seeing many specialists they couldn’t pin down what was causing the pain. They labeled it as IBS.

I am so grateful to have a way to show my support for the Women’s March! Due to a physical limitation, I knew participating in the Women’s March would not be feasible and I was not looking forward to sitting on the sidelines this weekend. Trump is frankly unfit to serve as president, and should…

Whether it’s been from being mainstreamed in a regular school classroom but still requiring “different” kinds of attention, being smart enough to disprove the bullying…

I am a newlywed who is on disability due to PTSD, depression, and chronic migraines. I also have fibromyalgia, and I’m a caregiver to my father-in-law. I am a daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. As you can see from my photo, my husband has visible disabilities. While I’d love to participate in a march in…
