My name is Carolyn Simms. I’m 53 years old, and am disabled due to chronic pain. My heart and soul is with the women and men marching in Washington tomorrow. We must stand for ourselves and our brothers and sisters in solidarity. God bless all of you for standing up for love, integrity, and human…

Why I’m Joining the March: I’ve always been appalled by injustice, even as a child. But my ability to be part of protests and marches was first limited by being a minor, then a student, and now a disabled adult. I just so desperately want true equality and acceptance; equal opportunities, equal treatment, equal value…

It’s easy for outsiders to dismiss our internal struggles, but the fight is real. We…

I am joining the disability march because I cannot physically join The Women’s March on Washington.  Sending the message to the incoming administration that even those of us who cannot march are still proclaiming our support for the idea that treating people as less than is an unconscionable act. I am Karin Odegard. A mother,…
