I am unable to march due to severe sciatica. I send my thoughts to those Washington marchers and to marchers all over the world. We must unite for fairness, justice, access to care and to counteract hate. I want my grandsons to live in a safe and international world, and I want to give credit…

I am joining this march because being born disabled shouldn’t be a reason for people with more capacity to hold you hostage to your limitations. Just because I cannot physically march due to my health status, doesn’t mean that I should sit by and let others with little understanding of my disability control my life….

When I was born the baby cards said “too bad it’s a girl. I have knocked heads with people telling what girls can’t do for 66 years now. In the 70’s I marched for the ERA, and said “yes I can” to live my life, have a “non traditional career” and live by my principles….

I am joining the disability march because mobility and health concerns are preventing me from attending the march in DC. I am passionate about activism being inclusive for everyone and for the voices of those with disabilities to be heard. Showing opposition to this new administration is incredibly important and I know I need to…

I would like to be added to the March as I am unable to attend the DC or Boston March due to a recent hip fracture, I have fought against rheumatoid arthritis for 40 years and gratefully have gone on disability income from time to time, though have pretty much stayed employed and productive for…

I am marching for women’s rights and the women’s equality movement. For continued LGBT rights and expanded protections. For the rights and protections of farmworkers and migrant workers, without whom we wouldn’t have food on our table. For humane immigration reform, in this country built by immigrants. I am a 60 year old woman, former…
