We are joining the march in spirit as women and people with disabilities deserve more than to be grabbed and mocked.

Ruth and John

Would love to be physically at the March…my own disabilities and my partners medical treatment has us busy. And, we are in solidarity, and will be with you in spirit.

Wilson

Half the population is either excluded or faces discrimination, whilst the advantaged continue to gain. I am unable to travel to London’s Sister March or cope with large crowds, but I want to take part in the joining of hearts, minds, and hands, globally, internationally, nationally, and locally as activists and advocates for a fairer…

 The “appearance” to the rest of the world that the US is having a peaceful transfer of power is taking precedence over what we deserve as American voters which is a President that the majority of us voted for.

Lin Miao

As an American with cerebral palsy, I believe in the right all people have to education, employment, healthcare, and most of all, being treated with dignity.
