Disabled people are 25% of the population. Disabled people aren’t hiding in plain sight. Disabled people are still ignored, neglected and hidden by others.

Since the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was gutted, Alabama legislators and officials have used various tactics to suppress the vote. These measures have made it increasingly harder for people in Alabama to register to vote and cast a ballot. bit.ly/3NIzgRR

When reporters ask me how it's impacting my life to keep sheltering in place, I no longer even know what to say because it's impossible to list every aspect of my life that COVID health policy & response has & continues to wittle away.

I’m praying for people who are discouraged, who’ve lost hope, who are drained and weary. I pray that your hearts are rejuvenated and that your heads are lifted. And that we rise collectively to change the conditions that contribute to and cause despair.

Today is #WorldBipolarDay. As a disability rights attorney living with bipolar disorder for more than 30 years, I would encourage my peers to join the cross-disability global movement for civil and human rights for all people with disabilities. Our bipolar energy is needed. – at Memphis, TN
