As someone with schizophrenia, depression and anxiety, large, far-away gatherings are particularly hard to prepare for and recover from, but that doesn’t negate my sense of right and wrong or passion for social justice. I march for the well-being of all Americans, including myself, as someone who lies on the Austism Spectrum, struggles with mental…

  Statement: I am deeply concerned about the incoming president and his cabinet. I want to live in a United States where we the people are united and work for the common good. We need healthcare that is accessible for all. Bio: Nancy is a librarian in New York in early retirement due to neurological…

I am mobility impaired, On Social Security disability, and use a power wheelchair to function. I would love to join the local march on Phoenix, but the batteries on my chair need replacing and won’t hold a charge very long. I am afraid I’d get stuck along the rout, so I’m delighted for this opportunity…

I am so thankful I found this Disability March site, you have no idea how happy this makes me. I am joining the Disability March because I do not drive and the closest Woman’s March is too far away to commit. I am joining this march not just for myself, but for my mom, my…

   I am invisible without the virtual March which enables me to be seen and heard I am frightened for my financial and healthcare future.  I already can not afford, and am going without, some of the care I need.  If SSDI and Healthcare benefits are cut, my quality of life will diminish even more…

I would love to join the thousands of marchers in Washington, but I have mobility problems due to lupus and neurological damage.  I am participating here because I fear for the future of the disabled community under the Trump administration and Republican House and Senate. I have been fortunate to receive Social Security Disability benefits,…

I am unable to be in Washington for the march but wish to participate in the virtual march. I am a retired school administrator and have given my life to educating children and raising my own children. I fear for them and for our country.  I am dismayed at the direction our country is taking….

Visibility is incredibly important right now – we *cannot* just close our eyes and trust that things will turn out well if we don’t demand what we need. If my back would allow me, I’d be marching. Thank you so much for giving us a way to be present! Just a woman in Austin. 🙂  …

Hi, my name is Sasha Oates. I am a 24 year old young woman. I am joining the Disability March because I have Ehlers Danlos and receive social security disability insurance. It is very difficult for me to travel. I also have dysautonomia and use an electric wheelchair. I am one of the 27% that will never have insurance if the ACA is repealed due to preexisting conditions. As a disabled woman I care deeply about equal rights. I worry about the new President’s policies and cabinet picks. The rights of all disabled people and indeed all people of this country are at stake. I care about all people, the unborn, the disabled, women, men, lgbt, atheists, religious people, the old and young. I march for all of them.
I have a website https://zebraonwheels.net/ where I comment about life and disability and occasionally politics.
