I am unable to attend the Women’s March in Washington, D.C. due to physical constraints from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hashimoto’s disease, and CCI. I wish to express my solidarity with the brave men and women in attendance, and, in particular, voice my support for the preservation of the National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for…

Jude and Maria

Jude: As a queer transmale person of color caring for my disabled older sibling while studying art education, I cannot even begin to express the horror and fear of the future I feel by the examples and beliefs supported by Trump and his appointed cabinet. I want to show my support in this march for…

Jordana Qi

I believe that people with disabilities deserve rights and respect. After hearing so many stories via social media from people with disabilities fearing for their lives under a Trump presidency, I was empowered to march alongside as well. As a person with epilepsy, I doubted that I would have the stamina to make it through…

Susan Bodofsky Zelenak

I march for all the women out there who cannot or are unable to fight for themselves. There is still so much work to do for our generation and many generations to come. Equality for all, no matter who you are. I am joining the disability march as someone who has panic attacks. I fight…

Attending the march in person could put my health at risk, so I’m joining in spirit as an advocate for those with pre-existing conditions. As a 32-year-old woman with cystic fibrosis, affordable access to healthcare is critical to my survival–and hundreds of thousands of others. I will continue to use my voice and my story…

He is willing to mock us, he is anti-science, and he is likely to slow important health research with his cabinet’s conservative stance. Trump’s profit over all approach also means drug companies will likely be…

Tina Rowand

I’m disabled and only 33 years old.  If the ACA is repealed, I’ll more than likely die.  Is there any better reason to oppose neo-fascists like Trump?  But in addition, as a former civil servant, I am DEEPLY embarrassed but what is happening in the US government. Who:  A former civil servant.  I believed firmly…

Julie McCord

I can’t march due to back pain and anxiety. I am joining the virtual march in solidarity with many friends and family members who are afraid because they are people of color, transgender, gay or lesbian, disabled or chronically ill, immigrants, members of minority faiths, women who have had abortions or been victims of sexual…

  I am joining the Disability March because I have been unable to work since 2008 due to often debilitation fibromyalgia, depression and anxiety. My sole income is Social Security Disability, and I just barely make ends meet. Access to healthcare and mental health care are vitally important to me. I fear that the Trump…
