Arthritis put me in wheelchair and my Social Security benefit keeps me alive. Thanks for helping me support the fight to keep Social Security intact, Medicaid and health care available. We need to strengthen the programs that protect the weakest among us. The prospect of our society losing our safety net horrifies me. I will…

  I march in solidarity with my disabled sisters and brothers. I march because we need more health coverage—including mental health—not less. I march for an inclusive America. Gregory Luce, author of Signs of Small Grace (Pudding House Publications), Drinking Weather (Finishing Line Press), Memory and Desire (Sweatshoppe Publications), and Tile (Finishing Line Press), has…

I am joining the disability march because my knees won’t let me march. If I could I would be out there carrying a sigh in support of Women’s Rights and Human Rights. I am grateful to all the people who will be out there for me and all the other humans in the world. I…

I would like to see equality in all our lives, for everyone (those with different abilities, different colours, ethnicities, religions, different sexual orientation and gender identities – not only men and women, etc etc). I am worried Trump will deny the rights of everyone expect for socio-economic and politically powerful white men. I am based in…

I want to make my presence known, despite suffering from chronic neuropathic pain that often makes it extremely painful to sit, stand, and walk for prolonged periods of time. This weekend I am also helping my son with high functioning autism to practice for his road test for a driver’s license next week. I am…

I’m supporting the rights of people of all colors, genders, and religious beliefs (including atheism or agnosticism) to enjoy the free and democratic society our forefathers laid out for us in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, in which comprehensive and affordable health care is a right for all, social and criminal justice is a…

I was going to the satellite march in NYC but now I have the norovirus. Eleven years ago I had brain surgery and that left me with Ataxia- a rare neurological disorder that impacts all my motor skills. Thankfully I can still walk a bit but my immune system is very compromised. I don’t let…

I live close to DC.  However, Post-Polio Syndrome that affects my legs prevents me from joining the march downtown tomorrow.  So near, and yet so far, as they say. Many of my friends are participating in the march, and my church has been actively promoting it.  This disability march gives me an opportunity to join in…

My name is Jen.I work for a bank and teach preschool choir on the side. I love both of my jobs! I’m a life-long chronic pain WARRIOR, and after two unsuccessful back surgeries and a nasty car accident, I also battle some mobility issues. I’d love to march, but I’m afraid I don’t have the…
