I feel the Disability March is important. For too long, those of us with disabilities are forgotten, pushed to the side, left out, and left behind. It’s time to put an end to this. Many of us can do what the non-disabled can do, and in some cases, do it better, because of our superior…

My name is Colleen Curry. I had hoped to attend the Women’s March in Sacramento, but my health at this time precludes me. I have a chronic inflammatory and a heart condition.

I am a woman, a bisexual, a rape survivor, a trauma survivor, and someone who suffers from chronic mental and physical health challenges. It has never been an…

Tema Krempley

I want to join because I believe in equal protection under the law and the right to live your life free of fear. My community, family, co-workers and students are terrified that they will suffer from discrimination, loss of rights, and loss of protection. I have never felt more grief after an election, nor…
