I’m marching because Betsy DeVos is absolutely unqualified to be the Secretary of Education.

Joining to have my voice heard. I’m a woman and a woman with a disability. I feel like a double hit in this world. I have to work extra hard to have my voice heard. To be acknowledged for my talents and strengths. To be respected as a human. I deserve everything as the next…
