I am joining the disability march online because I want to show my support to empower all women. I am a retire public school administrator and believe in equal opportunity for all. Although I have arthritis and orthopedic problems that prevent me from walking long distances, I join you in spirit.

I cannot stand up and walk the way even in the Seattle march–it’s too far much for me to be able to participate. With my chronic pain issues, fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraines, and CFS, not to mention anxiety issues, I’m out of spoons for the week–but this way I can stand up and be counted. We…

My mental health needs dictate that I cannot attend the march. However, I would like to be present and be a part of the protest against a fascist leader and a government that does not take the needs and desires of the people into account.   Website: https://www.facebook.com/ChristyMLively

I wish I could be at the March to support the wonderful people I met while campaigning for Hillary in Youngstown, Ohio. Many of them were working so hard just to get by under an administration that was dedicated to the wellbeing of all Americans. I’m fearful that the results of this election will be…

  Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Trump and Pence have got to go! PTSD is real and we need to talk about it!

      I first stood up for civil rights by joining the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Later protested the Vietnam War in D.C. and NYC.  I’m also a staunch women’s rights advocate, 60s Feminist and political progressive/Berner.  I have a congenital knee problem that has “kicked up” and prevents me from marching. So here I am…

I was planning on marching in my city of Minneapolis, MN, but slipped on the ice Monday night and fractured my spine and broke a rib. I was discharged out of the hospital on 1/18, but marching now would be impossible and I am so sad to miss the act of resistance. I am joining…
