36 years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act changed history. Thank you to all advocates who work every day to remove barriers, expand access, and create opportunities for people living with disabilities. Your work makes our workplaces, communities, and world stronger for everyone. #DoTheWork

July is Disability Pride Month. While it is a time to celebrate the diversity, strength, and accomplishments of the disabled community, it is also a critical reminder that the fight for genuine disability rights and equality is far from over. #DisabilityPride #disability #AbilityPride #PRIDE

Most disabilities are considered "invisible" and all disabilities are none of your business unless the person living with them want them to be your business. Ability is a spectrum that we all live within. #BeKind #HelpOthers #MindYourBusiness #disability #Baltimore #Maryland

#Anger itself is a natural emotion, but it becomes a #MentalHealth issue when it is uncontrollable, destructive, or abusive. Chronic, pervasive, explosive anger may indicate underlying conditions that should be discussed with a health professional. #BeKind to yourself first, then #HelpOthers.

When people disappoint you with their behavior and actions, it’s easy to lose yourself in the negativity. Don't dwell on the brown spots. Cut them out, discard them, and enjoy the rest of the apple. Then tend the garden as a whole to reap better fruit! #DoTheWork

With disability rights under attack, history offers hope and a possible playbook
Harvard researcher Ari Ne'eman says the policy shifts underway under the Trump administration pose a unique threat to people with disabilities, but that they've fought for rights before and won.

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid. “It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”

Hidden disabilities may limit daily life but aren't always immediately visible. These issues are vast and diverse and can cause significant challenges. Understanding and supporting individuals with hidden disabilities is crucial for creating a more inclusive society. #DisabilityAwareness #BeKind

More than 10 million children living with disabilities in the US rely on #Medicaid. This is about 15% of all Medicaid beneficiaries. Cuts to this safety net will be catastrophic, not just for these #kids, but for their whole #family. Call your representatives. Demand #NoCuts to Medicare/Medicaid

In dealing with sustained stress and danger, we suffer. Empathy fatigue, like depression, is a protective reaction to this suffering. Due to neglecting ourselves in favor of caring for others. In this, reject the temptation to isolate. Practice #awareness #balance and #connection as a balm.

Philanthropy comes from the Greek word philanthrōpos, meaning the "love of humanity". It is the act of sharing resources with others in need. It is the opposite of agressively hoarding resources and attacking all you think want to steal it from you. #love and #acceptance versus #isolation and #hate.
