The #COVID19 pandemic+the strained direct care workforce means family/friends have become unpaid caregivers for Texans w/intellectual & developmental disabilities. Join us in this conversation & make sure Texans w/IDD & their caregivers are represented #TXWomensHealth

BIG: Biden's Build Back Better bill contains critical funding to help disabled workers. Employers have been able to get an exemption to pay the disabled at least minimum wage-BBB would fund $324 million to help employers move away from this system permanently. (Via @LisaDNews)

BREAKING: Texas’ ban on mask mandates in schools is overturned by a federal judge, says it violates the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Local officials can now make their own mask rules and bars the Attorney General's office from enforcing GA-38.
