Currently on a call with 66 advocates from across the state to learn how to set up a Photo ID clinic. 💪🏻

I love this work.

Tell me there are barriers to getting a photo ID without telling me there are barriers to getting an ID:

74 minute wait
9 question to ask
7 people were served before me
Est. 200,000 Missourians with an expired or no ID

You do the math on barriers for obtaining a photo ID…

@SalisburyJustin @NFB_voice Is there a recording?

Trying to find a non partisan article is challenging, but focusing on the issue- I would love to here a person with a disability, or specifically blindness- their thoughts on visual descriptors in speeches or meetings.

@SomeSteph @NFB_voice I will! I saw that they don’t have a stance or policy in that- but read in an article. I’ll go straight to the source!

@GMaune Thank you, Gretchen! Agreed there are more things to be done to “mainstream” these accessible practices.

@craigs2040 @KidsWinMissouri @Centene Omg Craig! Bittersweet indeed! Good luck!

@shopnuuly is already a fave for me. I love the fun clothing options every month. BUT THIS inclusive representation on a marketing email is magnificent 👏 👏 👏

Once I left adolescence, fostering community as a disabled Black man throughout adulthood has become a complex and curious thing, Too disabled for one community, Too Black for another, too masculine or not masculine enough as I don't fit a lot of traditional roles

Sometimes you work in accessibility and disability rights but neglect to make an event flyer accessible #FacePalm

Grateful for patient advocates and the opportunity to do better tomorrow.

[Leigh Anne Haun @IDD_Advocate]

@GMaune Oh no! I think this is on me. I sent a private message. Will work quickly to get this fixed!

“Intersectionality helps us understand why each and every one of our experiences are different. Each of us moves through the world differently than the people around us because of a combination of who we are, where we came from and how people see is and treat us.” @autistichoya

I am JUICED for the session today. Voting is a fundamental right, my friends.

“I could make medical appointments for my young son. But under my guardianship, I could not make medical appointments for myself.”

Congratulations @INDisRts on the recognition of their work restoring this man’s rights and the rights of so many others in Indiana.

“Don’t fix the problem, fix the future.”👏👏👏

Love hearing from Missouri Inclusive Housing about advocacy as part of @MODDCouncil Partners in Policymaking.

[Leigh Anne Haun @IDD_Advocate]

Thank goodness. It was about to get spicy.

In a reversal from a week ago, Phelps County Clerk Pamela K. Grow announced during today's commission meeting her office will not be removing individuals adjudicated as incapacitated from the voting rolls against court order.

Hanging out with 30 other advocates to learn about the important topic of consent from Katherine McLaughlin with Elevatus. So thrilled to bring her to the state (virtually) with @UMKC_IHD as part of our series on Healthy Relationships. #SAAM2022
