Please keep an eye out for the ballots that are being mailed out this week and please vote for me to represent the Los Angeles local as a delegate. (Please make sure to follow ballot instructions and don’t vote for more people in any section as it will make your ballot invalid!)

As a half-deaf gay man I’ve spent my whole life fighting for a seat at the table and with the way things are going in the world it’s more important than ever for those of us who can, to speak up and fight for our rights and protections on set.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

We understand 'deaf rage'. In fact, every disabled person spends far too much time raging at the avoidable barriers that make them a disabled person and not just a person.

Actually, the Senate Dems just lost three seats. And he just caved during the shutdown debate. And he hasn't pushed back against the litany of attacks on the federal government. If you call that winning, I'd hate to think what you call losing. It's clear that Schumer needs to step aside.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Folks. It is vital that we spell out what DEI means. So when we are talking about it say Diversity Equity and Inclusion. Make them say that they don’t value diversity, equity, and inclusivity. Much harder to do away with that if you’ve said the actual words out loud! 💜💜💜
