My posts will focus mostly on poetry, foster care, adoption, and disability rights. The latter matters to me because I'm fully mute, autistic, and struggle with anxiety and depression as a result of my PTSD. I'm supportive to those with other conditions. I believe that together we can do more.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50. California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections. Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Nothing is inevitable. Effort is everything. Ignore the polls and run through the tape. Vote: zohranfornyc.com/vote Canvass + phonebank: zohranfornyc.com/gotv

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.
