I am very disappointed to not be physically able to attend the march.  Political activism and social justice are important to me, and I have attended rallies and counter-protests with my older son when I was healthy enough to do so.  I’m really grateful to make my voice heard, even if it’s not in person….

I  am one of the Millions Missing from full, active participation in society due to ME/CFS. Since becoming disabled a year ago, I’ve realized how invisible the disabled are—how often we’re overlooked even on lists of the vulnerable. (I implicate myself in that as well.) I am glad to unite with others in making our…

I have back problems that limit my ability to walk long distances. I want to be seen in solidarity with the all wonderful, inspirational people participating in these marches around the world. I worry about what the future holds with our new president and a majority republican congress. I want them to see that we…

I am a chronically ill, disabled and depressed woman from the United Kingdom. I am also bisexual, polyamorous, and socialist. The only thing that Donald Trump wouldn’t hate about me is the colour of my skin. I am marching in solidarity with all the people in the USA who now need to be so much…

My father Wayne marched in the Civil Rights Marches in Chicago in the sixties. He’s a poet and writer. I am trying to follow in his footsteps after lupus derailed my career in science. I have lupus and cannot march due to UV exposure and fatigue. He has trouble walking long distances due to two…

I am joining the disability march because with my many functional health problems, I cannot physically stand or walk for long hours. I am marching because I am enraged and disgusted. I couldn’t believe it when someone so disgusting as the 45th POTUS was elected. I am continually embarrassed by fellow Americans, some of whom…

I’m marching because Betsy DeVos is absolutely unqualified to be the Secretary of Education. Education is the only thing that allowed me, a young woman with Cerebral Palsy who walks with a limp, not to be defined by my disability in my school years. Succeeding in the classroom allowed me to believe in myself enough…

A POTS sufferer, corgi owner and feminist. I may not be strong enough to physically march but I will make my virtual presence known. To show and request respect for all, to celebrate and honor diversity, to stand against discrimination, to move forward not go backward. I am calling my senators, I am calling the…
