Megan and Mimi Newman

We march for those with invisible illnesses – for those who live in pain daily – yet aren’t seen as “sick”. We march for affordable care. We march, in love, for our love. We march for our trans family, for Megan’s students – who deserve a better future than the one promised under the new…

Why I’m Joining the March: I face limitations in what I can do everywhere I go: no, you can’t take this test (without help), no, you can’t do that basic activity like grocery shopping (without help), no, you can’t speak up about the discrimination and issues people with disabilities face and be listened to (without…

Moxie Moth Blackwood

Trump is not my president. As a queer disabled woman with a trans little sibling, a lesbian sister, gay brother and disabled mother, his policies will hurt my family. They will also hurt dear friends of mine, women, lgbtqia folx and people of color.  I have fibromyalgia, RA, severe anxiety and depression. I am an…

I’m joining the disability march because I’m angry. I’m angry for the people who have been historically overlooked and marginalized- people who deserve to be heard. I’m angry for the people who are being let down by their country. I’m even angry for the poorly informed people who voted for the upcoming administration. I’m angry…

I am joining the disability march because – I have spinal damage – I am not able to walk long distances and have problems feeling my feet, or I would be marching arm in arm with people in Seattle. We have progressed so far in the last 8 years and I want people to know…

I believe fully in the values put forth by the organizers of this march. I would have loved to joined my friends and colleagues in protest and solidarity either locally or in D.C., but health and other circumstances prevent me from doing so. At the last march I participated in–a Black Lives Matter rally in…

Ariel A.S.

I’m joining the march because Trump is not a clear representation of the United States of America as a whole.  Trump has appointed inadequate cabinet members for the fields they have been selected to protect and progress.  His actions show that he has no concern for the U.S.A. as a whole.  I’m of the U.S.A….

Jennie S.

I am joining the Disability March because I am dismayed by the behavior and decisions of the President-elect since November 8th.  His reactionary tweets, whenever anyone says something even remotely critical, are completely immature and disgraceful.  Nearly ever individual chosen for his cabinet is not only unqualified but openly opposed to the department they have…

Irina Rivkin

I believe that that we must stand up for women’s rights, human rights, immigrant rights, that Black Lives Matter, and that love is stronger than hate.  I believe that no matter what, there is still love and hope and humor, and we can resist together, be allies to each other, and stay true to who we…
