Stefanie Hauck

I am one of the invisible ones. I am a female combat veteran with PTSD due to MST and suffer from the autoimmune condition CRPS 1. I can’t handle crowds but want my voice to be heard for myself and all my battles who didn’t make it back physically and mentally. Women are veterans too….

Stephanie Fredricksen

Due to chronic illness I can’t physically march. I am thrilled for this chance to participate! This march is important to me because as someone with chronic illness health insurance is very important to me and the prospect of losing it is frightening. Just as important, is the idea of showing solidarity. I want it…

Shannon Livengood

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. There is no way I can go to the march but I am so worried about this presidency. Trump has no compassion for people with disabilities and all other minorities in this country. Thank you for allowing me a way to participate.

Jessica Novatney

I am a disabled woman and cannot “March”, but I would like to show my support for women and minorities and the disenfranchised and to “stand up” and let my voice be heard for what is right and just and fair. I want a president that cares for and looks out for ALL the people…

Additionally, every person who he is proposing for his cabinet has either been placed over an area…

Elizabeth Roberts-Zibbel

I am joining the march because I suffer from migraine disease (chronic) and won’t be able to make it to D.C. or the nearest sister march in Ann Arbor. My life was saved by Ohio’s expanded Medicaid in response to the ACA. I stand beside all women, people of color, those in the LGBTQ community,…

Lindsay C., Sexual Freak

I’m “marching” because the rate of sexual assault among youth with disabilities is twice the rate of able-bodied youth, and our country just elected a sexual predator who openly mocked a person with disabilities as president. I literally cannot contemplate this travesty without tears.   There exists in our society an odd paradox regarding people…

Jane Eaton Hamilton

I would be in Washington marching if I could handle it physically. I am proud of the people standing up for our futures. I am an out, proud, disabled, queer elder marching to protect the civil rights of the generations upcoming.

After seeing the horrors of Trump’s campaign strategies as well as victory I need to voice that this is not right. Never in his entire campaign, and life, has he acted presidential, professional, or acted at all like he cared about anyone other than the rich white male. What appalled me the most was when…
