I cannot attend the march in DC or any of the sister marches near me, not because of my own disabilities, but because of my son’s. He is on the autism spectrum and has sensory processing issues, and does not do well in large, noisy crowds–so I can’t take him to a protest. Instead, I…

I join the Disability March because I care about access to a full life, with inclusion in society. I was lucky to be educated under IDEA, and want people who follow me to have this same opportunity.  Our experience of disability and inclusion adds to disability culture and the culture at large. I believe we have…

I have MS. I cannot walk nor stand for more than a few minutes at a time, but tomorrow I’m going to strap on my “bionic” leg, fire up my walker, and take a few laps around my condo in support of the Women’s March. Thanks for giving me this opportunity to participate. I am…

I had hoped to attend but given the fact that I am full time wheelchair user, due to a C3-7 SCI, I didn’t think it would be safe. I have been speaking out for equality for ALL since the late 1960’s as a “young hippy” and have spent my life trying to live up to…

Because of sensory overload a big march is not a comfortable thing to do. A virtual march was a better fit. Also I want to support people like myself and march with them. Bea is an 8 year old who is an activist, artist, autistic and hyperlexic. This was sent by Bea’s Mom Lisa Jeanne…

I am joining the Disability March because the rights of all Americans are important and should be respected. Our representatives at every level of government need to recognize that the reason they are in office is not for their individual political goals or potential financial gain; it is to represent the needs of ALL of…

  I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis as well as two other neurological diseases – MS isn’t even the bad one. Every day I push myself as a model, opera singer and diversity advocate but sometimes the spirit is more willing than the flesh. I don’t even have the stamina to join my local march in…

As a woman I suffered two heart attacks. Heart disease is the #1 Killer of Women but many times women do not get the same health care as men.  Women are often ignored and thought of as complainers but when men get heart disease complaints are taken care of immediately. I am joining this for…

I have mental disability and i cant read or write without help. I believe women has rights even with disabilities to be who we want to be and not to be judged. I still need help when I ask for it. I don’t want them to take away the help and rights women and disabled…
