🚨Recap: A VERY disappointing outcome. The @NIMHD committee admitted to NOT include anyone with a disclosed disability, yet made a significant decision on behalf of our community - they did not recommend the 'health disparity designation' be given to people with disabilities.

Fourth in a series supported by @CHCFNews is our latest equity analysis on California’s In-home Supportive Services (IHSS) Program. We examine what aspects of the program either give rise to or can be used to address inequities. https://t.co/uvBz4R94Dx

This week has been among the most horrifying in recent American legal history.

Some of us can feel swallowed up by that horror. Incapacitated by it. And I think that, for a little while, it’s okay.

If this sounds like you, here’s a bit from #CripNegativity that might be useful.
