Sarcoidosis is a condition that reminds us of the intricate ways our bodies can be affected by inflammation. As community members, we must advocate for increased awareness and support for those affected by sarcoidosis. #SarcoidosisAwareness #HealthEquity

Also people of color and disabled are more likely to be pedestrians and transit users who are frequently victims of distracted drivers as we dodge cars to get to bus stops. Please support SB 24-065 #coleg

This was a personal one.

Data overwhelmingly shows that distracted drivers disproportionately kill people of color.

My cousin, Marcos, 17 when he was killed by a distracted driver. His brothers,Fernando & Omar, were 6 & 8 with him in crash.

Let’s save lives. #copolitics

The disability community has been working towards this office for more than a decade. I'm so excited that we're one step closer to seeing it come to fruition. Huge thanks to David Ortiz and Chad Clifford for leading the fight in the House. #coleg

So important that leaders in the #client community are here at Legal Services Corp. 50th. Leaders like zella knight and the rest of our group make this all worth it. Legal aid boards were deliberately set up to include clients on the governing body.

Excited to be at the 50th anniversary of Legal Services Corp. and about to hear John Grisham my favorite author speak. He writes beautifully about how broken our system is.

Great work Disability Law CO
We hope that Colorado HCPF will look at vouchers or some form of client/family direction to assure children get services even if the provider isn't part of the #Medicaid system

Apparently fully #accessible travel still not possible as the bed at Omni Shoreham Hotel in the #wheelchair accessible room might as well be Mount Everest. This really isn't rocket science #Wheelchair Travel

Excellent point which is why automatic fines upon certain events MUST be part of this. We also need private right of action so attorneys can help!

This is an important measure as is the one giving our auditor Timothy O'Brien, CPA subpoena power for all programs using our tax dollars. All should expect to be accountable.
