I’m joining the virtual march because as a mentally ill, biracial woman with a chronic joint condition (that limits my ability) advocacy is not an option. I want to do what I can to change the current state of women in the United States. As of now it is lacking and many of those who…

As someone with bipolar disorder and social anxiety issues, this election has been extremely trying on my mental, emotional, and physical health. My heart marches with everyone around the world, but I know that self-care is needed to get me through this weekend. I am joining the virtual march to be present and supportive where…

I am a queer college student working two jobs, and I do not let my disability define me. I want to show other young people that you don’t need to be afraid to fight for what you believe in.

I am joining the disability march because I support equality for all members of our society. I am here to let our new administration know that equality is the only foundation on which a great nation can be built – equality of representation, equality of access, equality of opportunity, equality of compensation, equality of justice……
