I’m joining the Disability March because physical and financial constraints block my participation. I’m a disabled Vietnam era veteran, mom of three, cancer survivor recovering from an old broken back injury and recent hip replacement. Due to my macular degeneration, without the invaluable eye shot regiment provided by the V.A., I would’ve been blind in…

Why I Am Joining The March : I am joining the march for all the marginalized, undocumented, hard-working immigrants here in the United States. These voices need to be heard LOUD and CLEAR.
