Treacy

I am joining the disability march because I am a disabled Marine Vet advocating for my children, especially my son with Autism. I want to show my daughters that their voice does make a difference and to have the courage to stand up to injustice in the world. That women deserve to make choices on…

Three at the Hill

  We are marching for equal protection under the law: as women, and as a family. We are marching for our daughter, a young woman with autism who has a right to a future that includes quality educational, healthcare, housing, and employment opportunities. We are marching for the civil and legal rights of all women,…

Stevie Aubuchon-Mendoza

I am joining the March as a long time sufferer of social anxiety and depression. I would love to be there, but it is hard for me to travel. I am a bi-sexual woman and family/friends with many LGBTQ people and it is important to me that our voices be acknowledged. We can not become…

Scooty

I was born with Spina Bifida and use a power wheelchair. Pictured is myself and my service dog Finnegan. I adopted Finnegan from the Marshall County (In)Humane Society and trained him myself to be my service dog. I’m joining this march on Saturday at least in spirit. As a woman, I matter. As someone with…

Jan Z.

My name is Jan and I am a Canadian citizen living in Vancouver, BC. I am joining the Disability March because I am the mom of a 24-year-old trans son, Ash, whose dad is in the US. I worry about my child being the target of verbal and/or physical abuse because of the lack of…

Pat McCoy

  Even though I live in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. and would love to physically join the March, physically and medically I am unable to do so. I’ve been dealing with nerve damage after a bout of shingles, can no longer drive nor travel alone as I’ve had incidents of losing my balance and…

Carol Bullock

I am joining the disability march as an ally from the UK. Due to being severely ill with neurological symptoms that hit me when I was 17 (I’m now 38), I know how disability and ill health can affect anyone. I am lucky in that here in the UK access to our NHS is not…

Hayley Morgan

Please accept this as my place on the Women’s March, Cardiff, UK. I’m joining this march because it’s essential both short and long-term to show solidarity with other women in this scary political climate. Although progress is being made by feminists, we are being held back more and more often by a certain brand of…

Wilson

Half the population is either excluded or faces discrimination, whilst the advantaged continue to gain. I am unable to travel to London’s Sister March or cope with large crowds, but I want to take part in the joining of hearts, minds, and hands, globally, internationally, nationally, and locally as activists and advocates for a fairer…
