Maybe if @GovKathyHochul listened to @Spirit_SCI tell his home care story she would not be so hellbent on destroying the program that has meant so much to his ability to build a life and a family here in NY! #ProtectHomeCare because #CDPAisEssential! #CripTheVote
Jose's Home Care Story: "Why Don't We Matter?" youtu.be/_5yxd49HZIg?si=sBAf… via @YouTube ListenNLearn about why home care needs to be protected. Jose’s son shouldn’t have to visit him in a nursing home. Keep him home, in his community. #ProtectHomeCare

Eden joined us in the war room to speak out against cuts to CDPA and in favor of the Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act! @GovKathyHochul needs to listen.

Over a month ago my power wheelchair was destroyed because I traveled by air. ✈️ Yesterday - over 37 days later- I was told the airline finally ordered a replacement. 🦼 Now let’s guess.. how many more days until @JetBlue gives me back my independence? 🤷🏻‍♀️

ASAN partnered with ADAPT to plan an in-person action at the ABAI Conference, demanding that ABAI denounce the Judge Rotenberg Center and their use of painful electric shocks. #StopTheShock #ABAIBoston #ABAI2022
ABA is never okay, and neither is torturing disabled people. #StopTheShock and stop platforming the JRC.  #ABAIBoston #ABAI2022

Ride like Charlie! There are many different types of face coverings that you can wear while on the T, but only one right way to wear them. Be sure to fully cover your nose & mouth, making sure there are no gaps, so you & your fellow riders can #RideSafer mbta.com/RideSafer

While we offer several reduced fare programs, there exists a gap for many low-income adults. That's why we're researching what it'd take to implement Means-Tested Fares - program costs, administration, & enrollment for eligible riders. ow.ly/Unxk50A2hvz #BuildingABetterT
