The decision follows our lawsuit challenging Texas’ 2021 voter suppression bill, #SB1 — filed with ACLU, @txcivilrights, Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Disability Rights Texas, and Jenner & Block on behalf of LeagueWomenVotersTX, OCA Greater Houston, and REV UP Texas.

As we enter fall/winter….

Alice Wong 王美華 And since the public emergency “ended” in May most insurances companies won’t cover at-home COVID tests anymore so most people can’t afford to test if they even have it.

Not enough people know about this, but there's a NIH-supported program giving out SIX FREE COVID TESTS. Sign up here: test2treat.org No insurance required. You also get access to telehealth, as well as free treatment (if eligible). Please share and get the word out!

NOW: We're in federal court to challenge voter suppression law #SB1 and defend the rights of Texas voters. The legislature passed this law in 2021 despite widespread opposition — including some lawmakers leaving the state to break quorum. Here's what's at stake: 🧵

“If they go without care, it means that they have to call 911 to get out of bed.” Disabled adults in a Texas Medicaid program might lose care after budget changes inadvertently cut pay for caregivers — who are often their own parents. Texas Tribune texastribune.org/2023/09/11/tex…

UPDATE: The test2treat.org website is no longer accepting registrations for now due to so many sign-ups. Hopefully they resume soon, but this demonstrates the continued demand for access to COVID resources. The government needs to do more to provide them.

Our trial challenging SB1, sweeping TX voter suppression law, began today. The Arc of the United States represents The Arc of Texas w Legal Defense Fund ArentFox Schiff Reed Smith LLP. SB1 makes it harder for voters w disabilities to vote by mail/get assistance, violating ADA/504/VRA. thearc.org/blog/federal-c…

During the recent debate, President Trump claimed he “saved” the Affordable Care Act. I talked to some of the disabled women from iconic 2017 ACA/Medicaid protest photos about how they feel about that. 19thnews.org/2024/09/disabl…
