We made an exception to our Summer Vacation one-show-per-week schedule today, for good reason: we had our pal Nick Paro on to discuss an issue that impacts all of us as Americans, and especially those with disabilities.
In the interest of time—and because Nick covered this so well—I’m going to quote him below, so we can start spreading the word ASAP.
In Nick’s own words…
A huge thank you to my friends Dana DuBois and Lawrence Winnerman (of The Daily Whatever Show) for hosting Nieta Greene (of Disability Community for Democracy) and me in this call to action for Saying No To Crip Crow.
The only ask I have for any of you reading this, or listening to the replay, is that you take the time today—and every day after—to contact your federal Representative and Senators to help us codify the rights and freedoms of the 1999 Olmstead decision into law as an expansion of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Thank you The Opinionated Ogre, Melissa Corrigan, she/her, Karen Marie Shelton, Jason Gael, LeftieProf, and many others for tuning in, with huge thanks to Karen and Yanni Hamburger for moderating.
Thanks for listening!
