I have fibromyalgia, which among other things makes it difficult for me to walk or stand for long periods, so unfortunately I won’t be able to join all the amazing people attending the Women’s March in person.  Having this venue to join those marchers in solidarity means a great deal to me. No matter what…

Pastor Sue Bruck

I am a TBI survivor and am unable to attend large crowd events.  I support the message the Women’s March represents and I want fellow participants to know they are supported beyond the numbers that are there physically. I am currently disabled due to a car accident in 2012 (hit head on by a postal…

I’m joining because I am a disabled woman and I love America. The illness of lipedema has left me disabled and disfigured, Lipedema is a genetic fat storage disorder and it’s often quite painful and debilitating. I can no longer march or walk but I am joining online because I can still speak up for…

Spoonie on the March!

I’m here because I can’t be there. I have multiple invisible autoimmune diseases that make it painful and sometimes impossible to tolerate prolonged walking, sitting, standing, and cold, wet, or heat. I also often need to be near restrooms. I’m so grateful for this opportunity to be seen and counted. Thanks to my very expensive…

AMJ

I woke up the day after the election not feeling well, so I called in sick. I saw a text from my son that said he was scared. Then I saw online that Trump had won. I couldn’t believe it and things felt very surreal. I called my daughter at work to let her know…
