<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Disability March is “an online movement that gives people with disabilities and chronic illnesses a way to actively participate in the event via the internet. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />The <a href="https://disabilitymarch2.com/">Disability March site</a> includes prompts for interested participants to submit their names, photos and statements.” The info goes live on the website and is also visible on the Disability March’s twitter feed @DisabilityMarch, creating a virtual archive of participants.” <br />- s<span style="font-size: x-small;">ource <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/disability-march-online-movement-womens-march-washington-disabled_us_58813a39e4b0e3a735680f3e">https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/disability-march-online-movement-womens-march-washington-disabled_us_58813a39e4b0e3a735680f3e</a></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Recognizing that many people with chronic illness and disability cannot physically protest at marches and rallies, #MarchingWithMe, a Suffering the Silence initiative organizes partnerships of ongoing advocacy between Supporters in our community and able-bodied Marchers.<br /><br />Together, we march for a stronger, more inclusive future. <a href="http://www.sufferingthesilence.com/marching-with-me">MarchingWithMe</a> matches Supporters with “boots on the ground” Marchers. Marchers wear a small, printable photo banner of their Supporter on the day and partners are encouraged to share personal stories with each other in advance of the march and then by posting photos and experiences of the march on social media with the #MarchingWithMe hashtag. <br /><br /><b>All matches for this year’s Women’s March must be submitted by Tuesday, January 16th.</b><br /><br />Visit <a href="http://www.sufferingthesilence.com/marching-with-me">http://www.sufferingthesilence.com/marching-with-me</a> and follow the instructions. Enter Philadelphia or Philly in the space labeled OTHER under “Major City You're Closest To”<br /><br /> Once you are paired and ready to participate in the Women’s March on Philadelphia, Marchers and Supporters should be sure to not only use the #MarchingWithMe hashtag, but also include the hashtag ##womensmarchPHL2018 and be sure their posts are set to public. </span><br />

FYI: While we know that there are many other reasons that you may not be able to attend, please read the requirements for each march as they are not meant for those with temporary reasons they can't attend. It is not that these people and their reasons aren't valued, but people with disabilities and chronic illness don't have other avenues to participate. So each of the above listed marches have their own requests as to who participates in them. Please honor them. <br /><br />There is an Online March that was created to fill the need for a virtual march for anyone else who can't attend for other reasons. Find that event here and consider using the same hashtags listed above.<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/177323026349689/?fref=gc&dti=154766081246533&hc_location=ufi">https://www.facebook.com/events/177323026349689/?ti=cl</a><div>

<b>We Resist.</b><br />
<div>
We stand against those in our country and society who seek to divide us and stifle the diversity that makes our nation great. We will no longer allow the rights and interests of women and those who identify as women in mind, body, or spirit to be disregarded.<br />
<br />
<b>We Persist.</b><br />
<div>
One year after the largest demonstration in the history of the world, we continue to speak up and remind everyone: We will not be silenced! We will be there in the streets, in the halls of Congress, outside the White House. We will march, we will rally, and we will organize in our communities. We will call out those who try to intimidate us. We will jam the phone lines, we will write postcards, we will connect on social media with others of like mind. We will work to get out the vote and we will be there at the polls to see change happen. We will continue our fight!<br />
<br />
<b>We Rise.</b></div>
<div>
For the second year, we come together in solidarity at the Women’s March on Philadelphia and at marches around the world to reiterate our message: We hold our elected officials accountable. We are fighting for women’s rights, especially in communities marginalized the most. We are creating our own space to have a voice in decisions that affect our everyday lives. We believe in our ability to create change because together we are powerful and this movement is strong. We are rising, fearless and unapologetic. We are running for the very offices held by those who have tried to keep us down. We are taking our seats at the table!<br />
