Why I Am Joining The March: I am joining the disability march to be, in spirit, with my many friends who are marching in person in DC or elsewhere for a cause that is near and dear to our hearts. It is a time to make our voices heard, for respect and equality in dealings with…

Why I Am Joining The March: I believe in women’s reproductive rights. I believe in every child’s right to an excellent free education. I believe that income inequality needs to be addressed. I believe that the rights of the LGBT need to be protected. I believe that immigration makes us stronger. I believe that people with…

Why I Am Joining The March: I am a disabled woman, living with progressive MS.  I fear for my country and most especially for minority groups, including the disabled, under the current administration.  I march in absentia with my service dog, Pizazz!, to support women around the country who are standing up to be heard.  We…

Why I Am Joining The March: I was so glad to find the disability march! I have enough COPD that walking any distance is really a chore. And I really wanted to participate because this is a huge historic event. (Imagine a paper pussy hat please.) It blows me away that we’re still arguing over contraceptive…

Why I Am Joining The March: I am socialist and feminist who fully supports BME and LGBTQ communities. I also have ME and whilst I cannot march physically my heart and spirit will be.

I want to march because I’m disabled and our new president has no respect or empathy for the disabled community. I march because…

Why I’m joining:  I have an autoimmune disorder with two major symptoms being fatigue and pain.  I am a woman who has experienced the devastating impacts of toxic masculinity first hand, along with a number of people I hold dear.  I can’t not protest a president who was elected on a platform of racism, Islamophobia,…

I’m joining the march because sisterhood and solidarity can’t be swept under the carpet, especially not now. I lecture theatre, am mother to Elliott and wife to Justin, daughter of Enid and granddaughter of Brenda. I march for all of us. ((This is brilliant- thank you)) Xxx

 Why I Am Joining The March: I’ve just been cleared for driving and exercising post-hysterectomy, but a long drive followed by a march (in my home city of Cape Town) — probably not prudent for me just yet. Because I’m South African, I know how easily evil can be normalized. And how necessary peaceful protest is….
