Every home should be designed for total accessibility since, over time, all residents may need it. Creating spaces that accommodate future needs is essential.

Rep. Al Green stated, "you have no mandate to cut Medicaid," reacting to the misrepresentation affecting millions. Ten Democrats joined in censure against him. How can we save Medicaid if we can't even support someone brave enough to speak the truth?

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be. Anne Frank

ās theme is Disability Justice, yet your policiesāno masking, no COVID testing, no virtual presentationsāexclude those most impacted. How will you pivot now to ensure true accessibility? Social work values demand better. Failing to act contradicts the justice you claim to uphold.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde calls for Mercy. Mercy is defined as, "a choice to show compassion and forgiveness instead of punishment". Jesus taught that mercy is a central tenant to the Christian faith.
