Because I can’t sit back and pretend that this is a normal inauguration. Because, once again, a qualified, sharp woman was passed over for an inappropriate and unqualified male candidate. Because our worth can’t be measured on a scale of one to ten. Because the work of my predecessors is too important to be written…

  I am joining the Disability March because of my mental disabilities. There is a local march in my town, but due to my anxiety disorder, I am at high risk of a panic attack or worse. It’s not safe for me to march, so I’m super thankful this exists. I am a wife, a…

Besides the fact that I support the cause and want healthcare for everyone, I need it myself. In 2008 I hurt my leg so badly that my doctor wouldn’t let me go back to my basement apartment. I couldn’t have possibly afforded the surgery and rehab to get better without Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security…

I am a woman. I am disabled. I am a proud birthmother of a transgender son. I am an ally to/for ALL disenfranchised, made-less-of, left-behind, left-out. Especially by the person just sworn in as our President. Sickens me to know that so many feel that someone who openly mocked a disabled person (among many others)…

I’m joining the march because I want to celebrate the diversity of this country, and to show the next President that we will not be bullied. If I were not nearly bankrupt and bedridden with neurological Lyme disease, I would be there in person! I am truly appalled by Mr. Trump’s behavior in mocking a…

I march “virtually” for truly equal rights for all. I march for women with disabilities, especially chronic Lyme disease. I march for those we follow and those who will follow us. I march for peace and kindness and fierce support of my sisters.

My name is Ericka I’m 28 and I’m a Boston girl at heart, but my family moved me to North Carolina. I love the mountains and I love being the “liberal feminist your mom warned you about.” I teach pre-kindergarten and am passionate about making sure young girls know they can do anything! I live…

  I’m joining the Disability March because I want to stand in solidarity with my fellow sisters (and male allies) in the belief that our voices should be heard and our rights should not be trampled. Unfortunately, I am unable to physically attend a march due to a heart condition, but my spirit goes out…
