A rainbow formed outside of the Kennedy Center as Trump’s name is being removed from the building. If that’s not a sign, I don’t know what is!

Dems have been looking for their message for years, and @AnnieAndrewsMD just did it (in under two minutes). Take note 📝

HB37 is the culmination of many years of work and yesterday ✨her excellency✨ @governorva @SpanbergerForVA signed it into law.

[VaAutismProject @VaAutismProject]

When Gov. Spanburger vetoed SB335/HB246 she extinguished 6 yrs of hard work by disability and criminal justice advocates. The bill was a narrow, targeted reform designed to recognize that disability-related behaviors can be misunderstood as aggression or noncompliance by LEO.

Yesterday we addressed Governor @SpanbergerForVA’s veto of bills to protect individuals with autism, mental illness, dementia, and intellectual and developmental disabilities, along with other statewide advocates for this vulnerable group of people: https://t.co/tET4rLY1Xy

@markwarner: strengthen the savings potential of ABLE accounts for your constituents with disabilities – including those with autism. Please cosponsor ABLE legislation to help people with autism build savings and financial security.

.@GerryConnolly @MarkWarner @SenTimKaine NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.Medicaid is a lifeline! People with disabilities rely on Medicaid for health care and services to support them in their daily lives. Any cuts to Medicaid hurt those who rely on it. #ProtectMedicaid #ProtectHCBS

@AP This is a disgrace to fire this man. I know him and his family and they are true public servants.

@JenniferBoysko @JusticeFwdVa Thank you Senator Boysko for always staying strong in the face of opposition. We are very grateful for your strong advocacy on behalf of autistics who find themselves in a crisis. @autismASTV @LRIDD1 @JusticeFwdVa @TheArcofNoVa

@virginianpilot Autistic individuals in crisis are sent to hospital ERs or jails because Virginia does not want to do the hard work of creating a safe place for them to be supported. families are without options and anything they do to ask for help risks their loved one being charged w/assault

@GerryConnolly Please ensure the passage of H.R. 7213 (Autism CARES) this week! We are your constituents and it is important to us! The number of autistics is increasing!
