I'm heartbroken to share the news of Alice Wong's passing. We have lost a titan. I envision her now hanging out with the other greats we've lost, like Judith Heumann, Ed Roberts, and Brad Lomax. Alice is but another disabled ancestor joining a powerful lineage.

Did you know...Deploying a single National Guard member costs taxpayers approximately $530 per day.
That could feed ~176 people one meal, or ~58 people with three meals per day, and the full $1.1 million could instead deliver ~366,000 meals or feed 122,000 people for a full day.

Leading global experts just confirmed what we’ve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And it’s likely to spread.

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.
