I usually stay out of politics, but people have asked me whether the American Healthcare Act (AHCA), if passed by the Senate, will affect me personally. I'm about music, not politics, but the fact is this one has me freaked out for poor and disabled people.
Policing of the disabled and how many deaf people get shot by cops is sort of insane. And it's not talked about.
I can't stand by, the Liberal Democrats will not stand by, to see disabled people lose their rights, lose the care they need, when they need it the most.
We understand that, in our communities, black trans folk, gender-nonconforming folk, black queer folk, black women, black disabled folk - we have been leading movements for a long time, but we have been erased from the official narrative.
In my opinion we don't take care of our disabled people well enough. We don't take care of our elderly well enough. We should honor them more than we do.
Being disabled should not mean being disqualified from having access to every aspect of life.
A society can be judged by how it deals with its most vulnerable, the aged, the infirm, the disabled, and the unborn. I believe it with all my heart. And I couldn't be more proud to be standing with a pro-life candidate in Donald Trump.
Disabled people should have the same access to democracy as everybody else.
Austerity is devastating these communities. The working poor, public sector workers, the disabled, and the vulnerable are the hardest hit by this bankrupt and ideologically driven policy.
The British people think that if someone is disabled, then they should get all the care and support that we can offer.
I'm also involved in the rights of the disabled and do some fundraising for that and I thought it would have been a big boost for the campaign but it couldn't be worked out.
The problems of the disabled are unpopular.
The killing of a disabled person is not 'compassionate'. It is not 'euthanasia'. It is murder.
