Now Disability March organizers are urging people to
start their own marches and include a “disability contingent,” allowing
people with disabilities to participate virtually through an organizer’s
self-hosted website, and by proxy as more capable people march on the
streets. As disheartening as it was to not be able to participate in the
recent protests, the thought of joining a contingent of disabled people
online gives me hope for future demonstrations...
Now as anti-Trump demonstrations continue — with
science-related protests, work stoppages, calls for the president’s tax
forms to be released, and boycotts of consumer spending all in the works
— I urge organizers to be more inclusive with their demonstrations.
Adopt virtual and proxy formats. Doing so will only increase the
protest’s impact — more people will participate, and more people will
take notice. That is, after all, what every good protest is about.
Dear anti-Trump protesters: don’t forget those of us with disabilities
