Miranda

I am an American living in London and I am award winning jewellery designer. I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 18-months-old. I have undergone 7 joint replacement surgeries including 4 hips, two knees, and an ankle so my mobility is compromised and I’m unable to march. I believe the success of a nation…

I am joining the march to give voice to my belief that all of us are welcome to be called ‘real Americans’. No one should ever feel fear because they are female, black, brown, a person with a disability or without financial means, their held religion or who they love.  I am 63 year old…

I have many reasons why. Obviously, for myself, I am deeply concerned that the incoming administration will do a lot of…

I am joining the disability march because I am not well enough to march in person, but I believe that rights for women, and especially disabled women, are not what they should be in the country. I want my president to care, or at least to know that he’ll be held accountable if he doesn’t….

Maggie Billingslea

I am gender queer and have a trans daughter. Although my disabilities prevent me from marching in person, my heart will be there, because I believe that we ALL are precious and valuable.
