People repeatedly refuse to acknowledge I'm #blind & this is part of #ableism. Erasing my #disability is ableist. Treating me as though I can see, telling me I'm not "really" blind is ableist. Nondisabled people must do the work to understand #accessibility. #a11y

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell everyone you know, they must place their ballot in the YELLOW envelope and sign it. Placing the ballot in the white ballot envelope and returning it to a drop box WILL NOT BE COUNTED. Please follow ALL directions!! If we can't verify we can't count!

If you have exhausted your regular unemployment benefits & are still unemployed, you should apply for an extension of benefits through the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (#PEUC) program-- not the PUA program. (1/3) #CARESact
