Today, I happily announced @ErieCountyNY's gift of $1.1 million to @buffaloscience to build a wheelchair accessible walkway at the @tifftnature Preserve in Buffalo. Tifft is a natural gem and now all will get to enjoy. Thank you @jgilmour77 for your support of this project!

Samuel wants to date, leave home, & go to college. But he drives a 350-pound wheelchair, uses a communication device, & can have a seizure at any moment. Determined to find his path forward, he seeks out guidance from America’s most rebellious disability activists.

Congratulations to @BjStasio who received a resolution from Senator John Mannion celebrating his induction into the Susan M. Daniels Disability Mentoring Hall of Fame.
My name is Ginny and I am a self-advocate and I need Medicaid to help pay for my two devices that help me hear better. #nomedicaidcuts
Jonathan Doherty is a leader of the All Stars Self Advocacy group in Albion, NY. He is an active citizen, well known in his community and engaged in civics. He votes, and he campaigns. #GovernorCuomo - This is his diabetes pump, without it, he could die. #NoCutstoMedicaid
I am an advocate I rely on Medicaid for my services such as self-directed and consumer directed personal care assistance program without this help of these programs I wouldn’t be able to live the life that I’m living. #ProtectMedicaid #NoMedicaidCuts #SaveCDPA

As we battle a public health crisis, we urge @CarlHeastie @NYSA_Majority @AndreaSCousins @NYSenDems to protect Medicaid. Reject the MRT Medicaid cuts. Say #NoMedicaidCuts

My name is Shameka and I am a self advocate and Medicaid helps me to get the wheelchair that is vital to my quality of life. We want to hear your stories about how medicaid helps you. Share your stories and pictures on our statewide facebook and twitter pages. #MedicaidMattersNY

#Medicaid is the first line of defense in the fight against #COVID19. We need to tax the ultra-rich to keep Medicaid, other vital services strong. @NYGovCuomo @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins @DickGottfried @NYSenatorRivera #ProtectMedicaid #NoMedicaidCuts #MakeBillionairesPay

W/ little exception, the #Medicaid Redesign Team pkg flies in the face of its own requirement that changes do no harm. We should be asking ultra-rich to help fill the budget gap, not Medicaid beneficiaries. @NewYorkMRT @NYGovCuomo @NYSA_Majority @NYSenate #MakeBillionairesPay

#CuomoforPresident folks: do you know he's trying to cut $2.5 bill from NY's Medicaid during a pandemic? I'm grateful to @NYGovCuomo & staff for decisive work AND I beg them to not further risk the disabled, elderly & low income NYers #COVID19 is already harming. #NoMedicaidCuts
To be clear: In a global pandemic the most vulnerable, many of them Medicaid patients, will be the ones to be most severely impacted. THIS strikes at them directly...and this dude simply REFUSES to #MakeBillionairesPay
