Appreciate the post sentiment & concrete call to action! A reminder that using “stand” to refer to something you care about/are passionate about/want to fight for excludes folks who may not be able to physically do so.

For so many, the act of using the bathroom is simple. In the life of the disabled, simple is a rarely used term. Put yourself in another’s situation and then calculate of the costs of making whatever accommodations necessary for activities of daily life. The costs are enormous. Medicaid=lifeline.
