Why I Am Joining The March: I am a disabled woman, living with progressive MS. I fear for my country and most especially for minority groups, including the disabled, under the current administration. I march in absentia with my service dog, Pizazz!, to support women around the country who are standing up to be heard. We…

Why I Am Joining The March: I was so glad to find the disability march! I have enough COPD that walking any distance is really a chore.

I’m joining the march because sisterhood and solidarity can’t be swept under the carpet, especially not now. I lecture theatre, am mother to Elliott and wife to Justin, daughter of Enid and granddaughter of Brenda. I march for all of us. ((This is brilliant- thank you)) Xxx

Why I Am Joining The March: I’ve just been cleared for driving and exercising post-hysterectomy, but a long drive followed by a march (in my home city of Cape Town) — probably not prudent for me just yet. Because I’m South African, I know how easily evil can be normalized. And how necessary peaceful protest is….

Why I Am Joining The March: I am marching virtually because I am fatigued and in pain, and cannot attend a march in person today. I live (and suffer with) the complications of late long term Lyme disease and an immune disorder which has yet to be defined. These and other conditions will be next to…
