I am a 59 year old disabled former military female battling neurosarcoidosis, a very rare neurological disease. My husband is 64 years old and disabled with MS. I wish I could stand and march for the protection of all disabled people, all senior citizens and the poor. If there are ANY cuts to Social Security,…

Lisa Caplan
My name is Lisa Caplan and I would be at the march if I didn’t have a spinal cord injury and a serious heart condition. Being seen in my wheelchair at the march would be so empowering but I’m also grateful for this alternative way to participate. While I may be confined to a chair…

My Ehler’s-Danlos Syndrome prohibits me from physically joining in the marches going on around our beautiful country, but I am there in spirit.

Jynel and Arlee Rodgers
My name is Jynel and Arlee is my daughter. We can’t march because Arlee has cerebral palsy, and had surgery January 13 to help her walk. We are virtually matching because we believe in human rights.

I am marching because I want to stand with disabled people of all colors, orientations, genders, and outlooks. The Trump Administration shows it has no misgivings about being toxic to women — and the disabled in general. Trump’s hateful agenda threatens millions, especially the most vulnerable among us. I support the Women’s March on Washington…

While I may not be able to walk long distances with rheumatoid arthritis, my mind and my heart are prepared for the long road ahead. For a woman’s right to choose, for affordable access to healthcare and precription drugs, for access to education, for freedom of the press, for democracy, we march. You can find…

I am a trans woman with aspergers, who suffers from chronic depression and anxiety. If I could leave the house, I’d be doing a hell of a lot more than merely marching. America has elected a neo-nazi into office who has surrounded himself with monsters and incompetents; a man who has been elected under dubious…

Women’s rights are civil rights are human rights. Donald Trump is the stuff of nightmares.
