I’m joining the Disability March because I’m currently studying abroad in a country that does not have freedom of speech. The government does not allow protests, demonstrations, rallies, or marches of any kind. I have been desperately searching for meaningful opportunities to be involved with demonstrations against the President-Elect and in favor of the people….

I am watching these rich ‘elites’ flaunt the fact that they are breaking the law, that they believe themselves to somehow be ABOVE the law. No. Modern Americans are not only becoming more complacent, they are turning to the mindset of “It’s not affecting me” and “I only care for me and mine.” No….

I am one of the millions who will lose my health insurance if Trump and the GOP repeal the ACA. I have Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, migraine, and IBS.

Our government needs a message that is loud and clear: the principles that we fought for that make this the greatest country in the world are in danger of being trampled underfoot by an ignorant, unethical, mentally and spiritually sick man. I would be there if I could, but PTSD prevents me from being in…
