I am unable to be in Washington for the march but wish to participate in the virtual march. I am a retired school administrator and have given my life to educating children and raising my own children. I fear for them and for our country.  I am dismayed at the direction our country is taking….

Visibility is incredibly important right now – we *cannot* just close our eyes and trust that things will turn out well if we don’t demand what we need. If my back would allow me, I’d be marching. Thank you so much for giving us a way to be present! Just a woman in Austin. 🙂  …

Hi, my name is Sasha Oates. I am a 24 year old young woman. I am joining the Disability March because I have Ehlers Danlos and receive social security disability insurance. It is very difficult for me to travel. I also have dysautonomia and use an electric wheelchair. I am one of the 27% that will never have insurance if the ACA is repealed due to preexisting conditions. As a disabled woman I care deeply about equal rights. I worry about the new President’s policies and cabinet picks. The rights of all disabled people and indeed all people of this country are at stake. I care about all people, the unborn, the disabled, women, men, lgbt, atheists, religious people, the old and young. I march for all of them.
I have a website https://zebraonwheels.net/ where I comment about life and disability and occasionally politics.

I am joining the disability march because disabled people are the largest minority, yet we are grossly underrepresented. If your feminism is not inclusive of ALL, then it is not feminism at all. I am a twenty-five year old disabled woman who is graduating with her Master’s degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other…

Donald Trump’s presidency is a disaster for myself and thousands of other Americans. As a survivor of sexual assault, I see my rapist when I look at him and hear others defending his so-called locker room talk. As a disabled person, I fear for my health after he repeals the Affordable Care Act, as the…

I have systemic arthritis which limits how far I can walk.  I want to participate in the women’s march to demonstrate that I do not support the president elect or his policies or cabinet appointees.  As a retired teacher I am especially appalled by his putative SecEd. I have been a Fat Activist since 1979…

I have been living with Lyme Disease for 24 years and it has completely destroyed my health-cardiac lyme, chronic fatigue, painful lymphadenopathy effecting my entire lymphatic system, and nerve damage. Far too many years I didn’t have health insurance so my access to healthcare was spotty at best. Thanks to the Affordable Care with the Medicaid expansion…

Because my rights as a disabled woman are neither special nor a favor, they are civil rights. For my daughter to know that her mother will speak out and fight injustice and discrimination however and wherever she can. I’m a wife, mom, and writer. I have CP and have lived in a pre-ADA and Post-ADA…

I’m a cancer survivor, among other things and have several long term side effects I must deal with including seizures. I’m on 11 medications just to keep me as close to normal as possible. My husband who is 62 is losing his job this year and we are COUNTING on the ACA or a plan…
