“When I nearly broke my hip, they hit all ten seats going back.” ✈️

In the 80th year of the #PowerOfPVA's advocacy, we're grateful to @TransportDems' @RepRickLarsen for hearing our PVA Northwest Chapter's stories.

People with disabilities shouldn't have to face extra obstacles when they travel. They deserve equal access to our airports and airplanes. That is why I introduced the Air Carrier Access Amendments Act which will make travel more convenient and accommodating for all. @PVA1946 @UnitedSpinal

[Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) @PVA1946]

With a background in medicine + @USArmy, @RepMMM has insights many don't.

As part of @HouseVetAffairs, we appreciate her meeting w/ our PVA Iowa Chapter to examine why specialized @DeptVetAffairs care is so critical.

Accessibility isn’t a partisan issue ♿🤝

We’re glad our Michigan Chapter met with House Bipartisan Disabilities Caucus Co-Chair @RepDebDingell to talk long-term care for #veterans with SCI/D.

His support got the Benefits Expansion Act through the House, but now we need yours.

Thanks, @USArmy #veteran @RepTomBarrett, for meeting w/ our PVA Michigan Chapter to discuss this legislation and long-term care.

Honored to be presented with the @PVA1946's Gordon H. Mansfield Congressional Leadership Award by Carl Blake and Robert Thomas, whose leadership has transformed the lives of veterans that live with disabilities following their service to our country.

I will continue my work to ensure veterans and all Americans with disabilities receive the respect, care, and rights they deserve.
