I am joining the March because I want to demonstrate that I care about the way men and women treat each other. I hope that this March sends the message not only that women demand equal respect in society, but also that there is at least a minimum standard of care and respect that each…

I am joining the march for intersectional feminism, disability rights and recognition for CFS/ME, fair and just compensation for female veterans with MST, (hooah!) a more compassionate USA, and for my daughters.

Why am I joining the march? Health care is important to me. With my pre-existing health conditions and my child’s disabilities, affordable health care is vital. I cannot stomach an administration that is putting plans in place to hurt a majority of Americans.

I cannot attend the march in DC or any of the sister marches near me, not because of my own disabilities, but because of my son’s. He is on the autism spectrum and has sensory processing issues, and does not do well in large, noisy crowds–so I can’t take him to a protest. Instead, I…

Bea Graf

Because of sensory overload a big march is not a comfortable thing to do. A virtual march was a better fit. Also I want to support people like myself and march with them. Bea is an 8 year old who is an activist, artist, autistic and hyperlexic. This was sent by Bea’s Mom Lisa Jeanne…

I am joining the Disability March because the rights of all Americans are important and should be respected. Our representatives at every level of government need to recognize that the reason they are in office is not for their individual political goals or potential financial gain; it is to represent the needs of ALL of…
