#WhatWeNeed is dedicated #HCBS funding in the HEALS Act so people with disabilities like our son can access the services they need safely at home, not in institutions with severe #COVID19 outbreaks.

[Nicole Jorwic @nicolejorwic]

Act now, we are hearing that Congress isn’t getting enough push from the disability community. NOW is the time to let your legislators know #WhatWeNeed in the face of #Covid_19 People with Disabilities, DSP and home health workforce must not be an afterthought during a pandemic

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

Every single disabled person,
Every single elderly person,
Every single poor person,
Every single benefits recipient,

Must be part of the legislative #COVID19 package.

No exclusions.
No exceptions.
No restrictions.
No limitations.
#WhatWeNeed #CripTheVote
