An injustice to any is an injustice to all, and if it isn't addressed individually, it becomes a global injustice as well.

in the world", "the root of all oppression lies in (supposed) science", Gandhi.  Remember, if responsibility isn't exercised, 

its Siamese twin sister, freedom, will wither, like an unused muscle as well; now, sadly, because of self-possession, it needs 

to be exorcised before it's exercised.  No one must be conned by the corporate structure's convolution, divide and conquer 

only works on the divided, life is indivisible, as your potential is illimitable. If you will, please copy, share.  reality

Get Involved

Please help stop this bill.  This tax bill will hurt people with disabilities: It dramatically cuts the revenue needed to fund Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, housing, and other services that benefit people with disabilitie.  The estimated $1.5 trillion cut in revenue disproportionately benefits the wealthiest Americans and large corporations.  Members of Congress who support this bill have already said that they next plan to make cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and other programs on which people with disabilities rely to address the federal deficit (which this bill increases by $1.5 trillion).  The bill repeals the Affordable Care Act's requirement that everyone have health insurance. This will cause premiums for people with disabilities and pre-existing conditions in the private market to increase, leaving health insurance unaffordable for millions.  It also has provisions that directly hurt people with disabilities. For example, it reduces a tax credit that helps with the development of drugs for people with rare conditions.   reality

Email Your Members of Congress to Urge Them to Protect Vital Housing Programs from Drastic Budget Cuts

As a concerned disability advocate, I want to ask you to work to defend people with disabilities against attacks in the Senate tax bill.  It's really disturbing to know that in addition to removing deductions that reduce barriers for people with disabilities, that the Senate bill could result in billions of dollars cut from Medicare, which could force massive cuts to other programs like Medicaid and Social Security. Millions of people need these programs, and deserve peace of mind. Please help stop this bill.  The GOP's eugenics "Tax Reform" supposed legislation, which is really a "taxscam", a theft of going on 2 trillion dollars from increasing the taxes on the middle-class to poor and giving it to the upper-middle-class to rich in the form of a tax cut for them, nothing more than the richest corps. and people, billionaires stealing food from the mouth of babes; it must be stopped- and any democrat working with the republicans on it should be primaried!!!

Ask Your U.S. Senators to Stop Tax Bill Attacking People with Disabilities

Dear Access Living friends and allies,

The U.S. Senate is expected to vote on the tax plan sometime today.  The vote was delayed from last night in order to give Republican leadership more time to add more stuff into the bill.  Very few people will have any real understanding of the final product as it goes to the Senate floor as it is being rammed through fast.  It is extremely important to try to make phone calls to Senators THIS MORNING before 10 am Central. Here is phone info to key Senators, and also you can still email your U.S. Senators at this link.

Key US Senators (yes, you can call them even from out of state):
Senator Jeff Flake- Arizona (202) 224-4521
Senator Bob Corker- Tennessee (202) 224-3344
Senator Ron Johnson- Wisconsin (202) 224-5323
Senator Steve Daines- Montana (202) 224-2651
Senator Susan Collins- Maine (202) 224-2523

US Senators from Illinois:
Senator Tammy Duckworth (202) 224-2854
Senator Richard Durbin (202) 224-2152

Message: "Hello, I am calling to ask you to say no to the tax plan because it will take away healthcare and employment opportunities from people with disabilities. This is a matter of national importance." If you are asked for your state, go ahead and tell them, but remind them that this is a matter of NATIONAL importance.

Keep your eye on the news today to see what happens! If the Senate passes the bill, that is not the final product. The House and the Senate would have to decide what to send to the White House.
