Since I was not able to attend the March in DC, I am joining virtually to stand up against the ableism, sexism, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other -isms that are being encouraged in this new administration. The rhetoric is personally attacking people I care deeply about and thousands of others who share the same identities….

  I’m a 33-year-old living on disability. I maintain a memorial site to autistic homicide victims at http://autism-memorial.livejournal.com/ and volunteer for the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network. As an autistic person, I am endangered by this administration. I may lose services, lose my home, or even lose my life. I worry for my neighbors and friends. And…

I am joining the disability march because I am in currently in the hospital with pneumonia. Although I can’t talk right now, I’m aware that trump was inaugurated today and am disgusted.

He will also attempt, and likely succeed, rolling back our right to abortions, regardless of circumstances, and refuses to recognize…

I am joining the March because I want to demonstrate that I care about the way men and women treat each other. I hope that this March sends the message not only that women demand equal respect in society, but also that there is at least a minimum standard of care and respect that each…

I am joining the march for intersectional feminism, disability rights and recognition for CFS/ME, fair and just compensation for female veterans with MST, (hooah!) a more compassionate USA, and for my daughters.

Why am I joining the march? Health care is important to me. With my pre-existing health conditions and my child’s disabilities, affordable health care is vital. I cannot stomach an administration that is putting plans in place to hurt a majority of Americans.
