Today, I happily announced @ErieCountyNY's gift of $1.1 million to @buffaloscience to build a wheelchair accessible walkway at the @tifftnature Preserve in Buffalo. Tifft is a natural gem and now all will get to enjoy. Thank you @jgilmour77 for your support of this project!

Samuel wants to date, leave home, & go to college. But he drives a 350-pound wheelchair, uses a communication device, & can have a seizure at any moment. Determined to find his path forward, he seeks out guidance from America’s most rebellious disability activists.

I am an advocate I rely on Medicaid for my services such as self-directed and consumer directed personal care assistance program without this help of these programs I wouldn’t be able to live the life that I’m living. #ProtectMedicaid #NoMedicaidCuts #SaveCDPA

#Medicaid is the first line of defense in the fight against #COVID19. We need to tax the ultra-rich to keep Medicaid, other vital services strong. @NYGovCuomo @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins @DickGottfried @NYSenatorRivera #ProtectMedicaid #NoMedicaidCuts #MakeBillionairesPay

[Medicaid Matters New York @MedicaidMtrsNY]

W/ little exception, the #Medicaid Redesign Team pkg flies in the face of its own requirement that changes do no harm. We should be asking ultra-rich to help fill the budget gap, not Medicaid beneficiaries. @NewYorkMRT @NYGovCuomo @NYSA_Majority @NYSenate #MakeBillionairesPay

#CuomoforPresident folks: do you know he's trying to cut $2.5 bill from NY's Medicaid during a pandemic? I'm grateful to @NYGovCuomo & staff for decisive work AND I beg them to not further risk the disabled, elderly & low income NYers #COVID19 is already harming. #NoMedicaidCuts
