Hey Bluesky, Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁

Imagine if doctors explained your disability instead of your diagnosis—and connected you to resources that made you feel less alone. #DisabilityIsNatural #Community

Remember - there are more of us than there are of them.

An accessible restroom stall is not an inclusive stall.

Reminder - You can't be pro-life and anti-medicaid.

Whether you’re here for a personal story, a policy deep-dive, or just some real talk—I’m glad you’re here. I hope you enjoy the latest post. substack.com/@christinami...

Multiple Little Lobbyists families traveled to Washington, D.C., from across the country (Maggie and David traveled all the way from Alaska!) to deliver a simple message to their U.S. Senators: DO NOT CUT A SINGLE DIME OFF #Medicaid! Story via @nytimes.com #ProtectMedicaid

Don't believe the sh*t people say. You're perfect the way you are, otherwise you wouldn't be here. #StayTrueToYourSelf

Yesterday, @justiceinaging.org on behalf of aging & disability joined over 700 national, state, & local orgs urging the House to reject cuts to Medicaid. Lawmakers claim this bill won’t harm older & disabled people. That is untrue. Read the letter & call your lawmakers: www.c-c-d.org/fichiers/Agi...

Great Perspectives episode today - www.kqed.org/perspectives.... Thank you Susannah! We need more parents and humans like you. #KQED #Perspectives #BayArea

Hey Bluesky! I’m here to advocate & speak up about aging and disability — for my grandparents, their friends, and my disabled community who sometimes depend on public services to live and thrive.✌️🏼

Older Adults & People w/ Disabilities = Stronger Together. #Aging #Disability #ADRC #CA open.substack.com/pub/christin...

These are incredibly challenging times. Now more than ever, building coalitions, standing in unity, & showing mutual respect as advocates is essential. Division & disrespect only serve those who want to see us fail. We must protect & uplift one another—because our strength is in our solidarity.

Just because I have a disability does not mean I automatically receive Medi-Cal/Medicaid. It would be helpful if that were the case. #MedicaidMyth

Private Equity + Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) = Devastating Impacts for Disabled People & Older Adults

Happy #WorldDownSyndromeDay. It falls on 3/21, because people with Down syndrome have three copies of the twenty-first chromosome. This is the best Down syndrome PSA ever made and I want you to watch and share it. #WDSD2025
