Thanks to @pasenatorsaval.com staffer Emily Berkowitz for taking my call and helping to walk me through suggested action items. Our reps’ offices should be a resource for advocacy!

Yeah protesting is honestly difficult for me but I do it often anyway. It is TOUGH if you have chronic pain or are tired and overwhelmed or overstimulated by crowds and noise. Always takes me a long time to recover

In Philly, I noticed what seemed to be a higher than usual number of disabled protesters of all ages (including myself though my disability is non-apparent). We know that we are on the cusp of losing everything we fought for with the ADA. I’m seeing fierce advocacy from disabled folks.
