My knee arthritis keeps me from traveling to Washington, but many friends are there and I wish I could be with them.  Trump is our President now, but I will NOT stand by and allow anyone to believe I support his racism, misogyny and narcissim.  His shoot-from-the-hip attitude scares me.  I fear for all of…

I have a chronic pain condition that prevents me from traveling and walking distances. I truly believe in the protest against trump on the 21st of January. He,  trump,stands for ideals that encompass ignorance,discrimination and abuse of power. All of which, I fear will damage our country domestically and our relations with other countries. In…

This is Becki Smith, I’m 40 years old and live in Yorktown, Indiana. I am completely disabled due to a disease called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I’ve had 4 knee replacements and they have all failed. I am marching because women, disabled women, should be treated equally. Disabled women are looked down on, when they should be…

I am a woman with disabilities and cannot join in the march. I cannot believe this travesty that we are allowing this despicable man to be our leader.

I have had multiple sclerosis for 32 years and can no longer march, but I’m still an activist. I’m a long-time feminist and a lesbian, and have been an activist for women, for reproductive justice, for people with disabilities and for LGBT issues for decades.

I am currently recovering from late-stage neurological Lyme disease, and I can’t physically March just yet. But, I want to be involved. Thank you for this opportunity! I am a trained clinical social worker and an ethical vegan. I will always stand up for the vulnerable, oppressed and disenfranchised. Women’s rights are human rights.

I’m joining the March because I am so frightened about the incoming administration for so many reasons: as a woman, as a person with a disability, as a nurse who spent years working with underserved immigrant communities and then later with patients with complex, multi-organ system disease who often struggle to get the care they…

I am deeply concerned for the health and safety of everyone in this country, indeed, this world, who is not rich, white, upper class, Christian, straight, cis, born American, able-bodied, and male. The more of those things one is not, the more worried I am. This is the time for resistance to power, using whatever…
