Besides the fact that I support the cause and want healthcare for everyone, I need it myself. In 2008 I hurt my leg so badly that my doctor wouldn’t let me go back to my basement apartment. I couldn’t have possibly afforded the surgery and rehab to get better without Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security…

I’m joining the march because I was able to grow up and be a productive member of society because I had access to healthcare and insurance.  Without it, I would have been dead at 11.  I was on dialysis at 11, and had my first kidney transplant at 12.  I was blessed and lucky enough…

Do not believe that Trump is qualified to be president and afraid he will take away the many rights we have fought for before.  I protested against the Vietnam War, women’s reproductive rights, and nuclear proliferation.  I have seen that protesting works if enough people participate.  For me, this march is just the beginning of…

I am a 45 year old disabled mother of 3 who wishes I could take my 12 year old daughter to the march to show her women’s solidarity in action.  MS has taken my legs but not my spirit.  “We must learn to live together as brothers and sisters, or we will perish together as…

 My name is Olivia Neal. I’m 19 years old and recently moved back home to North Carolina from New York City. I’m a queer female chronically ill college student who stands to be deeply hurt by the Trump presidency and, like many of my peers, fear for my health, safety, and well-being. The policies put…

I’m joining the march because I want to live in a world and I want my son to grow up in a world where compassion and kindness are valued above wealth and “telling it like it is.” I never want him to question the value or strength of the women in his life. I want…

My name is Barbara Eliopoulos.  I have chronic aphasia and hemiplegia due to a stroke 16 years ago.  I can’t march, although I would love to.  I am scared about the future.  I want to be heard with other people who support LGBT freedoms.  I want women to have the right to choose birth control…

I am a woman. I am disabled. I am a proud birthmother of a transgender son. I am an ally to/for ALL disenfranchised, made-less-of, left-behind, left-out. Especially by the person just sworn in as our President. Sickens me to know that so many feel that someone who openly mocked a disabled person (among many others)…

Hi All I’m unable to get to the nearest Demo tomorrow in the UK, I live in Devon, Southwest UK, about 200 miles from London. I’m with you all in spirit. I’m loosing my hearing, so hope it is ok to use this platform to register my utter disgust and contempt for the new President…
