I am joining this march because I stand against everything that Donald Trump has said and done. Mocking people with disabilities hurt me to my core, because I have been disabled since birth; being left to be made fun of for being different, or not good enough. My mom worked a lot when I was a…

I have a chronic pain condition that is exacerbated by social injustice. I sit in solidarity (propped by pillows and swathed in blankets) with other disabled femmes who fight for intersectional justice in a movement that is all too willing to ignore us.
