I want to be part of the Women’s March on Washington, however, due to a lack of stamina from depression and anxiety, I can’t participate. Joining the Disability March is a perfect solution!   I am “marching” because, as a feminist, I want to simultaneously reject Donald Trump as a legitimate president because he is…

~I am joining the Disability March because I wholeheartedly want to participate in this event, and doing it in person was a hardship for me. I support equal rights for all people and creatures (including water and trees), I support LGBTQI2 equality, Black Lives Matter, Earth Healing and Respect, Social Justice of every kind, reproductive…

I’m joining the disability march because for thirteen years I’ve been disabled—one of the Millions Missing–because of the illness ME/CFS. I’m joining the march because I fear the future for people with my illness, that the funding needed for studies leading to treatments and a cure for us will remain less than what Congress allots…

I have fibromyalgia, epilepsy, lupus, chronic pain, degenerative spine, and all that goes with these illnesses. Over the last year, I have been treated like ‘nothing’ from the medical community. I’ve been turned away for reasons no one should be turned away. Because of this, I’ve suffered more and more. It seems that the CDC,…

I cannot make the women’s march because of a disability. This is really painful to me but it’s what I’m stuck with. I want President Trump to know that I will not let my rights be taken away. I will not let the disabled or the poor be denigrated.

I have lupus, dysautonomia and EDS. I have to walk with a cane and use a wheelchair for length distance. Society has so little thought put in to the lifestyle of a person with disabilities that we become second class citizens. Things that you have never thought about before, like walking up 3 steps, can…

I see an incoming administration bent on attacking the functioning of government itself, and on weakening democratic institutions for their own plunder. As someone who lives with chronic pain, I know how important access to health care is to my survival, and to the well-being of my family. My friends – Muslims, queers, immigrants, people…

Sofia Grace

I am 33 years old and I live in New York. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and walk with the assistance of crutches. I try to view my crutches, my disability as a gift but this is admittedly, sometimes difficult because of the limitations others impose on me and the assumptions that are made….

I will not sit back in silence while a misogynistic, racist, sociopath gains power over our great country. I live with multiple conditions that prevent me from being able to physically be at the Women’s March, including lupus, pernicious anemia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and dysautonomia (disorder of the autonomic nervous system). However, I…
