I’m 68 years old, a college professor, and committed to the vision of Barack Obama’s America. To that end, I long to march in Philadelphia on Saturday, but the painful arthritis in my knees won’t let me walk more than 8-10 blocks at a time, or stand in one place for more than 20 minutes…..so…

i am joining the disability march because i believe it’s important to be visible.  i am not able to participate in person due to both physical and psychological issues.  to be blunt:  i can’t walk very far (morbidly obese, lymphedema, arthritis, diabetes & diabetic neuropathy), nor can i tolerate noise or crowds (DID, PTSD). i…

As a school Speech-Language Pathologist, I turned my passion for helping people with disabilities into a career by giving hundreds of my students and clients the ability to communicate with the people they love!

Because I’m disabled, which does not make me less. Because victims of sexual assault deserve to be heard. Because my daughter needs to know…

I believe in the power of The People to rise up and challenge oppressive government. The incoming administration and the GOP are corrupt and self serving with little or no regard for those they are supposed to represent.I worked my entire life in service to the public until I become disabled and can no longer…

I was planning on walking in DC with a couple of old college buddies, despite having many medical issues that would have made it painful and exhausting. Then, a medical setback occurred.
