I am joining the march because I am afraid for the future. I am concerned that civil rights given to the disabled, minorities, women, etc may be reversed. I am worried about climate change and the damage climate deniers will cause over the next few years. I would love to be at the DC or…

Our human rights are being violated persistently–causing an epidemic of trauma….terrorizing oppressed communities and  affecting all in a very personal way and collective way. Like many survivors of violence, I’ve felt unsafe to exist in my own vulnerable human body (especially as a disabled woman); to use my voice or to feel. Unsafe to exist…

Because I thought by now everyone would have basic human rights.

I want to join you because my daughter-in-law offered to take me in a wheelchair to the March on Washington.  I was just thrilled.  Then we found out that the strict regulations for the bus ride would eliminate me because my portable concentrator could be mistaken for a bomb.  LOL, we decided that we just…
