I planned to attend the Women’s March over a month ago with concern over whether I would be feeling well enough on the 21st. If I did go, I would have to dehydrate myself, miss meals, and wear leakage protection. I would be down for the count days afterward. Prayer, meditation, and writing would be the…

I am joining the disability march as an ally from the UK. Due to being severely ill with neurological symptoms that hit me when I was 17 (I’m now 38), I know how disability and ill health can affect anyone. I am lucky in that here in the UK access to our NHS is not…

I’m joining the disability march because I don’t have the money to join the physical march. As well, I also have flat feet, which makes walking for a long while very painful. I am also fat, so walking long distances isn’t my personal strong suit. I was a graduate student, working on getting my MA…

I am marching virtually because I have myasthenia gravis and fibromyalgia. I can’t walk far or stand for more than a few minutes without pain or weakness. I am very worried about what will happen to our country as the rights of the rich usurp the rights of all others.

My wife Robin has a number of health issues that make it difficult to participate in any activities outside our home, except for work. She is the primary wage earner of our family. She has work and home. Her life has gotten very small. This is hard for all of us. We love our country…

I am unable to march due to Multiple Sclerosis and other physical limitations. It is important that we show our support for all of us that have been put in danger by the election of this most unqualified, dangerous candidate. We need to let the new administration see those of us that do not support…

My name is Claire…I am sitting in the recliner I sleep in because I can no longer sleep in a bed. I’m watching the Rev. Al Sharpton getting inspired. I want to march because I can not support an administration that is so adamantly opposed to everything I stand for. I want them to know…

Until I saw information about the Disability March, I didn’t realize how sad I was at not being able to participate in person. I cried when I read the article about this opportunity! Two years ago, I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. I’m extremely fortunate to have medication that I take daily to manage…
