Chronically Illing In Review
Today was a hard and necessary conversation—the DOJ is openly coming after our right to visibly exist as a person with disabilities.
Take a moment to read through Nieta Greene’s official statement on the DOJ Olmstead Memo and my article from this morning.
Systematic Attacks To Silence Us
We have to confront the damage the Trump regime is doing to the disability community—from criminalizing homelessness to the latest DOJ memo undermining Olmstead—or we will reach a point of irreparable harm. With damage which will touch all parts of our society—for generations to come—and I refuse to be silent about it.
We must all be loud and actioning on this — we will not be erased.
