I march for all the women out there who cannot or are unable to fight for themselves. There is still so much work to do for our generation and many generations to come. Equality for all, no matter who you are. I am joining the disability march as someone who has panic attacks. I fight…

I can’t march due to back pain and anxiety. I am joining the virtual march in solidarity with many friends and family members who are afraid because they are people of color, transgender, gay or lesbian, disabled or chronically ill, immigrants, members of minority faiths, women who have had abortions or been victims of sexual…
Protect the Access and Rights of All
I join the Disability March to do my part in protesting the tenor of Mr. Trump’s demeaning treatment of women and horrific mockery of the disabled. These attitudes and behaviors have no place in our country, and certainly not in the White House. I also march to protest the Republican assault on the laws and institutions that protect basic health…

I would love to march in the Women’s March, for I find just about everything about this new administration appalling. I worry about the normalization of misogyny, racism, xenophobia, and profiteering by government officials. I would march to protest the nomination of various cabinet members whom I believe will together or separately add to or…

The potential undoing of the ACA and its protections for those with pre-existing conditions endangers lives. We cannot stand by while large swaths of Americans are robbed of their basic human rights by an administration that only cares for its own interests. People of color, women, LGBTQIA people, people of all faiths, people with disabilities,…
