      Disability is Political

       

      Take it or Advocate?

       

      Taking it does not work.  

       

      Advocate:

      • ELF https://everylifefoundation.org/
      • Research America

        Annie Kennedy’s comments at the ELF Capitol Briefing: https://www.youtube.com/live/F6kfKsYCQYU?si=ihWOl7Lda7Steg3p&t=3391 

         

        Responsibility to those who cannot or will not be here.  10% of Americans.  10k diseases, all chronic.  Childhood.  Do not have FDA approved treatments, no cures.  Staggering Financial Costs aka Toxicities.  Efforts to date have allowed for interventions that may still matter.  We have invested so much.
