.@BeaHero + @ACLU are up AGAIN in Arizona! In addition to Taryn's story, Marcos partnered with us to share why it's crucial we fully fund home and community based care. This spanish language ad is running across the state right now, showing every Arizonan why #CareCantWait.

Today, @BeaHero + @ACLU are up with a historic ad buy for disability rights. Arizona will soon know the story of Taryn, her family, & why home care must be fully funded in the human infrastructure package. #CareCantWait CC @SenatorSinema @CaptMarkKelly

Enough talk about homelessness and a lack of affordable housing! Now is the time to do something about it. Housing IS Infrastructure and there should be no infrastructure bill without it. Are you with me? #HousingIsInfrastructure

Replying to @SenBryanHughes
Having my assistant help me with voting by pressing the inaccessible touch screen buttons is not "misleading" or "stealing my vote." Your bill language on voter assistance & the oath my assistant would sign leaves many disabilities out & our caregivers might face charges. (1)

#TXLege has a nasty bill they're trying to push through #SupressionSession that will supress the votes of disabled, BIPOC, poor, young, elderly and/or rural voters. @txadapt's Nicky Boyte is shown giving testimony in this @CBSThisMorning video #CripTheVote youtu.be/l38yCYDeB6I
