I was well aware that women were still not where they should be – have argued with younger women that feminism was only for radicals. It is terrible what has been happening but good that folks have waked up to what is really happening. I want to go but cannot physically do a lot right…

I am joining the disability march online in solidarity with the Women Marching on Washington and across the country. I cannot attend myself because I have a rare neurological condition called Psuedotumor Cerebrei. I believe it is very important that people with disabilities are represented and have their voices heard as the new administration begins…

Women have equal worth to men and should have equal rights, equal pay and equal respect. I would love to march in person but my health keeps me at home most of the time. I am thankful for the opportunity to join the march online.  I have been disabled by chronic illness for 10 years….

My partner and I were planning to join the march in D.C. but had to cancel due to financial constraints and shaky health–we are both at home batting sinus infections. And for me, these last 7 months of surgery, medical tests, and infections have taken a toll on my body; so though I am heartbroken…

I am a queer woman suffering from PTSD following domestic violence and sexual assault. Due to my anxiety and agoraphobia, I cannot fly to DC, and may not be able to march locally. I am joining the disability march because I would not be alive today if I had not had access to affordable health…

As an insulin dependent diabetic, I am concerned about the insane cost of health care and prescription medication in the USA. I am standing for our country’s moral…

The entire year of 2016 was a year of frustration for me, and especially after the election. I wanted to go out and protest and show my solidarity, but my disabilities make that dangerous at best, out right impossible at worst. I want to appear at the march this Saturday in St. Louis with my…

I’m joining the march because I’m the master of my own body and I will not sit quietly as those in power try to strip everyone who isn’t just like them of their rights, freedoms, and dignity. I’m a proud hapa, (Hawaiian and white), feminist, social worker battling fibromyalgia and polycystic ovarian syndrome with grace…

I am a 31 year old black and caucasian female. I am joining the March because I am married to an Easter seals employee who does amazing work with adults with developmental disabilities. My father retired from an adult developmental center in NJ. He helped individuals who could work, to find work. I am a…
