Francesca Antonaci

I am a domestic violence and sexual assault survivor. I also have fibromyalgia, degenerative arthritis, and PTSD. My pain and anxiety will not allow me to march, but I want to express my solidarity as a bisexual woman, mother, wife of a Latino immigrant, and generally compassionate human being. I do not want our rights…

as a queer disabled person of color, I believe it is critical to be present in all the ways we can at this march. to create a larger discourse on the issues that are already impacting our communities….to move with others in solidarity as we make apparent our concerns. with love. with compassion. with tenacity….

I can’t go to the march on 1/21/17 because I am disabled, due to multiple sclerosis. That’s me on the left. My niece Lanny will be marching in Bellingham, WA.

I was so excited about joining the March in Chicago. I felt compelled to participate because (among SO MANY other reasons) it is inconceivable to me that we made a man who brags about sexual assault our president. This afternoon when I got home from work, my ankles were more swollen than they have ever…

Hillary Tupper

I’m joining the disability march because I fear I won’t have the strength/stamina to even attend my local Syracuse in Solidarity rally. It hurts my heart because I want so badly to be with – no STAND with, the women and men who share both my beliefs, anger, and fears. SLE (Lupus) is the primary…

Jen

I’m Jen. I’m chronically ill with a few different issues. I love my cat. I love kindness. I don’t love anger and hatred. I am joining the disability march because I feel this is a really great resource for those of us who are unable to make it to DC. Women’s Rights are of course…
