#CripTheVote
Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities, and this year's theme is "Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress".
But what does a disability inclusive society actually look like? We think it means a world where all disabled people have affordable housing, access to healthcare, fair wages, and the ability to experience community, joy, love, and friendships in a society that values disabled people and their contributions.
This is the world we fight for every day at AAPD, and we hope you will join us.

Excited for another 2 years with our Chair! We have an amazing Eboard and get ready for great opportunities and ways to get involved that will be coming out of our caucus!
To our members:
Today is hard. We are mourning together.
We will fight for you. We will survive and fight this together. You matter, you are loved, and you are valued.
Medicaid cuts are an immediate threat to millions, stripping over 13M of health coverage and devastating access to care, jobs, & services. Disabled Americans will be hit hardest.
Your voice has the power to effect change! Contact your representatives, share your story, and make it clear: NO CUTS TO MEDICAID 🛑

We are incredibly grateful to @SenMarkey and his commitment to protecting our community and the people!
Cutting healthcare just to fund tax breaks for billionaires would be inhumane, thank you for speaking out!
Our chair, @Somesaylezzels, was invited along with other young organizers to talk to @EdMarkey tonight.
They discussed protecting Medicaid & Social Security from cuts, attacks on trans & disabled people, & that we should prioritize healthcare over billionaires!

Nancy Mace is the worst thing to happen to South Carolina since Tillman’s white supremacist constitutional convention, if not literally committing treason to avoid paying workers for labor.
Total hypocrite trash.
@ydadisability And from the resident South Carolinian: I hope your tea is unsweetened, a hurricane levels your house, that ALL the voodoo spirits haunt your ass, and you lose the governorship so bad you go into hiding.
Lose The Ring, Nancy.
