Andrea Scarpino is helping to organize a Disability March on Washington to coincide with the Women’s March on Washington—but this one will be entirely online. It's focus will be on how a Trump presidency will harm people with both visible and invisible disabilities. She would love to have as many people participate as possible! It’s incredibly important to have a diverse group of people from around the world telling our stories and making our voices heard!
More information on the march can be found here: https://disabilitymarch.com
Basically, if you’re interested, you write up a narrative, send a photo, Andrea and her team post it, and you’re an official marcher! The march has already started to go live—you can read some of the other narratives already posted on the site above— but we’re going to launch in a major way on January 21. They’ll be tweeting and facebooking and doing all the inter-web things on the 21st. So definitely share the page on that day.
If you know of others who would be interested, please spread the info widely!
Please keep us posted about going live on 1/21 and how to access it on Twitter and Facebook. Thank you for all you are doing for the Disability March. I am very grateful.

This site is excellent and so is how the subject matter was explained. I also like some of the comments too. Looking forward to your next post.
