I am a mother and wife to two beautiful autistic humans. My family is not able to participate in this march as a family due to accessibility and finances. Taking time off of work would put our family at risk of losing a day of pay.  As a woman with bipolar disorder and severe anxiety, being…

As someone who works with disability in public schools and grew up with disability in the family, as a woman, and as a minority, I stand with the disempowered and vulnerable. There are people who feel threatened in their own home country as rights may be taken away and who feel like family abroad may…

From The Psych Ward of BID in Boston

Thank you, President Obama, for making it possible for me to get the care I need. Thank you, President Obama, for acknowledging that mental illness is just that-an illness, and as such it can be treated. As such, it is like any other illness and deserves the same coverage.

I am joining this march because unlike any other “normal” young adult, I suffer from extreme fatigue and  debilitating joint pain that would prevent me from participating in a local march. As a huge advocate for women’s / poc’s / lgbtqa* rights, I’m grateful there is a way…

Gail Merle Feldman/Genessa Tsipporah Feldman

I am joining the disability march because I cannot get a ride to the nearest local march, nor do I have a wheelchair, so if I DID go I would be in pain in short order from my fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy and arthritis, and before long my asthma would kick in too — but I…

Let’s reclaim the word PUSSYFOOTING as a shout of joyous and powerful solidarity!!!

Robin Sentell

  I join the march because it’s time to take a stand against misogyny, ideology that punishes and objectifies women for being women, racism, xenophobia, and finally, predatory capitalism. How we treat those who need us the most is the most profound statement about ourselves as people and as a nation. America can do better. …
