I am joining this march because I am unable to be in D.C. for the Women’s March but would like to show my participation and support. I fear for our rights as well as our healthcare and education. In this time of misfortune and oppression, I would like show support for women and minorities so that…

I am joining the Disability March because if it were not for my chronic back condition I would be marching today. I’m currently laid up in pain, though, so I have to cheer on those who are marching. I’m deeply worried for all those that the election of this President and the policies of the…

I have hyperadrenergic postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome or hPOTS, a disorder of the autonomic nervous system as well as other autoimmune disorders.

For two years, I’ve been joking that if Trump won, I would join the resistance. It’s horrifying that’s no longer a laughing matter and frustrating that disability limits what I can do right now. The best I can do tonight is “march” for the Jews of my generation, who are learning for the…

Evy Gaudette: I am joining the March to stand with my sisters so we can all fight for our rights together! I can’t join you in person due to my autism and sensory processing disorder, but I’m right here with all of you! We will be heard! Lura Zoerb: I have mental and physical disabilities…
