With Trump’s national trifecta, state Dems are our last line of defense.
Governors, state senators & reps block extremist laws & protect rights. Volunteer, donate, VOTE in every state race.
The fight is local!

Yet for those with chronic illness & disability, isolated and poorly served by health services the online user groups and health communities are an absolute life line!! For sharing of international research findings, new treatments, coping strategies and advocacy, I would not be without them.
