I am so grateful that this opportunity to participate exists! So often as disabled and chronically ill people, we already feel powerless. Being unable to participate in my city’s Women’s March made me feel even more powerless, as I am unable to walk for long distances or stand for long due to fatigue and pain…

 I am marching virtually today because I marched and knocked on doors more than 45 years ago, for freedom and equality, for the right to unionize, for integrity in government, and for women’s rights.  Today I refuse to sit idly by and watch Donald Trump dismantle every good thing that our society has built over…

In the face of such powerful threats to our freedom and inalienable rights, it’s more important than ever to band together and make our voices heard.  “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” – Desmond Tutu I am a 22 year-old queer, disabled woman, student, animal…

I march for renewable…

I am a domestic violence and sexual assault survivor. I also have fibromyalgia, degenerative arthritis, and PTSD. My pain and anxiety will not allow me to march, but I want to express my solidarity as a bisexual woman, mother, wife of a Latino immigrant, and generally compassionate human being. I do not want our rights…

I can’t go to the march on 1/21/17 because I am disabled, due to multiple sclerosis. That’s me on the left. My niece Lanny will be marching in Bellingham, WA.
