Disability March

Group of 5 Marchers

Jo: I am a native of NH who moved to Florida for retirement. I was a teacher for 39 years. Now that I have retired I am also sick and wheelchair bound. I fear what a Trump administration will do, especially looking at the people he is surrounding himself with. I do not trust that we…

I am joining this march because I stand against everything that Donald Trump has said and done. Mocking people with disabilities hurt me to my core, because I have been disabled since birth; being left to be made fun of for being different, or not good enough. My mom worked a lot when I was a…
