I see an incoming administration bent on attacking the functioning of government itself, and on weakening democratic institutions for their own plunder. As someone who lives with chronic pain, I know how important access to health care is to my survival, and to the well-being of my family. My friends – Muslims, queers, immigrants, people…

I will not sit back in silence while a misogynistic, racist, sociopath gains power over our great country. I live with multiple conditions that prevent me from being able to physically be at the Women’s March, including lupus, pernicious anemia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and dysautonomia (disorder of the autonomic nervous system). However, I…

Why I march: I’m 69 and I’ve been doing this since I was 19; when Congress passed the Voting Rights Act and the Rehabilitation Act, when the National Guard fired on college students protesting the Viet Nam war I was there and burning my bra with women fighting for the ERA. I saw our nation…

I was an athlete all my life thanks to Title IX. I now lead an active life while living with a mobility disability. A long-time international advocate for sport for people with disabilities and also sport and human rights, I had the great opportunity to co-author Article 30.5 of the United Nations Convention on the…

Why I’d like to join: It’s vital to show solidarity in protecting women’s rights – for equality, bodily sovereignty, safety, dignity.

I would so be at the march in Washington, or at one of the local marches in San Francisco or Oakland, if I thought I was physically able to do so. I want to lend my support to the resistance of this right wing regime. Please refer to my website, lisasimpsonneedsakidney.com for my bio and…

My name is Carolyn Simms. I’m 53 years old, and am disabled due to chronic pain. My heart and soul is with the women and men marching in Washington tomorrow. We must stand for ourselves and our brothers and sisters in solidarity. God bless all of you for standing up for love, integrity, and human…

Why I am Joining: My husband and I are both blind and have two small children, so we are honored to virtually join the march tomorrow. Besides our blindness, my husband is an African-American Muslim, I am a female, our children are biracial. We “hold the truth to be self-evident that all [people] have the…

Mission: We are joining the Disability March to support our disability community. Every day our little family battles anxiety issues and mental disabilities that can make it difficult for us to participate in large (dare we say, “YUGE!”) social gatherings. It’s easy for outsiders to dismiss our internal struggles, but the fight is real. We…
