@rep_walkinshaw Support the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act! This bipartisan bill would let people on SSI save, work, and marry—without penalty.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit the new Culinary Connections kitchen at Easterseals to meet the dedicated staff who are helping participants of all ages and abilities master life skills through culinary classes and culinary therapy. It was amazing to see their accessible tools and adaptive practices in action, which ensure everyone can participate regardless of ability! Thank you to @EastersealsPORT for all you do to support and empower our community here in Hampton Roads…!

Our Easter Seals Canada delegates are in Ottawa this week, meeting with federal leaders to advance inclusion and accessibility.

From affordable housing to healthcare, we’re ensuring the voices of Canadians with disabilities are heard at the highest levels.

Hooray for @RichardEngel, one of the greatest--and bravest--broadcast journalists of our time for responding to @POTUS's callous attack on people with learning disabilities by speaking so openlly about his own.
(Me too, Richard!)
I hope kids who are struggling hear his message!

Perhaps the board isn’t aware that the Kennedy Center is 𝗧𝗛𝗘 memorial to the president of the United States, John F. Kennedy. Would they rename the Lincoln memorial? The Jefferson? That would be an insult to great presidents. This too is an insult to a great president.

Notwithstanding their short-sighted action, it is and will remain the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

@jameswalkinshaw A government shutdown threatens critical services for people with disabilities and puts lives at risk. Congress must act now to reach a deal that protects the disability community. #ProtectDisabilityServices
