Last year, PTV partner @DisabilityPower teamed up with @TheCarterCenter to audit 261 Detroit & Metro Detroit polling locations for accessibility. The results were shocking: only 16% of evaluated polling locations meet state and federal accessibility laws.

Today, we launched a dynamic, distinctive visual identity that captures our very spirit. Our hope is to not only bring more clarity, depth, and accessibility to our work but invite more people to engage in a vital conversation about inequality.

Why isn't this getting bigger coverage? Starting tomorrow April 1, no joke, about 15 MILLION people are getting kicked off Medicaid as Covid-era coverage ends. There's no safety-net health coverage other than ACA marketplace which is still pricey to many. washingtonpost.com/health/20…

📢 Your girl is now a columnist for @TeenVogue! My first piece is about the #Medicaid unwinding process starting 4/1 when states will resume annual redetermination processes for all enrollees which could result in millions losing their coverage #CripTheVote #SaveMedicaid
