I can’t travel all the way to D.C., but I want my voice to be heard. I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder in high school. Getting and affording treatment and medicine has been an on-going struggle. All people deserve quality healthcare, no matter what. And I refuse to bow to the stigma of mental illness….

My name is Janette Murray and I am recently disabled. I want to march because I believe in equality. Equality for all. Equality of the sexes, marriage is made of love no matter the sex (LGBT rights), woman have the right to decide what to do with their bodies and reproductive organs (Planned Parenthood). I…

I’m marching for spaces free of the fragrances and other toxic environmental chemicals that keep me in exile from the human community; I’m marching for the inherent worth and dignity of every person; I’m marching for the free and responsible search for truth and meaning; I’m marching for respect for the interdependent web of all…

I wanted to march in person but it’s too much for me. I stand for equality for women, for LGBTQ, for all races, and religions. I have congenital heart disease and I have had a stroke and 7 heart procedures. I also have major depressive disorder and anxiety. I am doing better now but have…

Why I Am Joining The March: As a woman, a feminist and a lesbian, I march to join the voices of all minority groups and those who will not be oppressed, will not go back in the closet, who will not go back to back-alley abortions, who will not be deported, who will not be…

I am joining the march because all of the issues on the platform are near and dear to my heart.  I have always felt passionate about social injustice, a feeling that was nurtured by my grandmother, a nurse in the pre-Roe days.  My body has betrayed me so I cannot attend in person, but I…

The day the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) is repealed, my niece and son’s girlfriend will both lose their health insurance.  As a person with a disability, a woman, and the daughter of an immigrant, I am deeply worried about a Trump administration for many reasons.  Due to my Multiple Sclerosis, I am no longer able…

I can’t be at a march, but I am not silent. This is a horrible day for women, LGBT people, disabled people, and minorities, and I am here to let my voice be heard with those of all who are able to march.
