Noah and Jessica Tresser

Noah was diagnosed with Autism at 2 years old. We can’t march in person, due to the crowds and noise, but we want to virtually march in solidarity, for the equal rights and protections of every one of our citizens (and our non-citizen immigrants, too). Noah can’t always raise his voice in person, but he…

I’m unsure if it’s ok to join you from the UK, but if nothing else, please know that people all over the world stand in solidarity and love with you. Know that your marching represents millions. That we are furious, and fearful, and heartbroken over the scale of danger, oppression, injustice and pain threatening so…

I am a Transgender person with a Disability, I experience Ableism and Sexism nearly every day in all facets of life, and it saddens me that all women are not often included in feminist discourse, in activism, and in issues affecting all women.

Hello All, I am joining the disability march because I have MS. Getting to places and mobilizing is difficult and I am so glad that the option of showing our support is possible in this way. I believe that a new approach towards living and society is needed; a focus that isn’t based on the…

Those of us with disabilities are one of the groups who are at particular risk under Trump’s presidency. We must not let our limitations prevent us from conveying our strength and voicing our needs. I am largely housebound due to Ehlers Danlos, a connective tissue genetic disorder.

I speak as an ally to those with disabilities, and also because I’m not able to march myself today because of very recent foot surgery. No person should feel marginalized because of their disability, race, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or…

Heather Corini Aspell

I’ve lived with multiple chronic illnesses since childhood, and am physically disabled. Since becoming unable to work I’ve dedicated my energy to patient and disability advocacy. I’m extremely fearful of the ways that a Trump presidency will harm disabled and chronically ill individuals. As someone who relies on costly treatments to manage my rare diseases…

I am marching because women have proved time and again how much we can change when we all join together. We are not all sugar and spice and all things nice – we are powerful, determined, and angry. We will not be silenced by the people who will benefit by us keeping quiet – we…

Sabrina Kowaleski

Due to chronic pain and mobility issues, I am unable to attend the march in Washington as much as I would love to. We live in a country full of so many amazing people who, right now, are scared of what is to come. I join the march because it is vital that we oppose…
