Rachel Morton

I have high functioning autism (formerly known as Asperger’s Syndrome) and anxiety. My strong sense of injustice is furious that he was elected president after every abusive, bullying thing he said and did during his campaign. Trump belittled not only people with disabilities, but also women, people of different faiths, immigrants, people of color, poor…

Kathleen Murphy

My name is Kathleen Murphy. I support women’s rights and oppose Donald Trump as president. I am a 61 year old retired woman with bipolar illness.

Holly Batt

I am Holly Batt. I am the woman with septum piercing and brown hair in a braid, petting my German shepherd. I am joining the march for all the young people I serve as a children’s librarian. I am here for all the tired marginalized American people. They will know aggressive, actionable love will prevail.

Janet Montgomery

I cannot attend due to being weak from treatment for lymphoma. Born in Eastern North Carolina, held many low-paying positions in my life, but retired from teaching at a university.  I am supporting this protest because of the misogyny, bigotry, and xenophobia that have been traits of our new president.  I am hoping he will…

Sharon Smith

I’m joining the disability march because a chronic medical condition makes it impossible for me to stand for more than 3 or 4 minutes or sit for more than an hour. I can’t comfortably ride in a car or bus or plane, and I can’t march anywhere! My husband and I (in our 70s) are…

Amanda F

I would love to be in the march in D.C. – but Fibro, recent abdominal surgery and my diabetes would just make it impossible to join in and make the full march. I am a bisexual woman, who relies on insurance through the state (funded in part by the ACA), and is terrified of the…

Andrea Eckels

My daughters and I are joining the march as a way to rebel against people who hate. We all have chronic illnesses with invisible disabilities. This new administration is threatening us with losing our healthcare, our rights to our bodies and the ability to speak for ourselves and decide our futures. All because we don’t…

Julia J

I used to walk quickly and with purpose. Now my body won’t let me do that, but my mind has not been dulled! I stand and walk arm in arm virtually with my sisters. Before my disability I was a corporate trainer for a national Bank. I’m still a wife, mother, sister and daughter and…

Hendy Appleton

I march because I want my daughters to know that what they are seeing from the people of this country is not okay. That bigotry of any kind is reprehensible. That I want them to have a world where people lift each other up instead of stepping on each other. That funding education is the…
