Project Mail Storm. Thanks to @ginaluker.bsky.social. I tried to condense so people can see it all. One slide I couldn’t fit is so important, to take care of the Postal workers, drop off water & snacks & thank you notes.

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.
Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.

This right here…. Watching Lora hit milestones that I quite frankly never expected but when it happens, the pride I feel is unmatched!!! We are always trying to provide her with opportunities and possibilities 💙 #t21 #advocatelikeamother #downsyndrome #47>46
My 18 year old is hitting some developmental steps that are just awesome to be part of, and I admit unexpected, but his growth is so non-linear we try to parent and love and provide opportunities with endless possibility but zero pressure.
