I’m joining the Disability March because I’m currently studying abroad in a country that does not have freedom of speech.

Why I Am Joining The March : I cannot believe I am fighting for rights that were won decades ago. We were working from nothing then, a natural evolution. Now it is pure greed and arrogance.
