The disability community is diverse and includes people of all ages, backgrounds, and identities. Being one of the largest minority groups in the world, we can contribute a lot to health research. #JoinAllofUs to help advance inclusive health research! JoinAllofUs.org

@NMVAUS fully endorses this effort by @NatlCouncilNPs to include charities in Congress's #COVID19 relief package. #Nonprofits account for 10% of GDP and employee 12M Americans!

Congress is ready to flood for-profit businesses with cash, but giving charities little respect. Tell Sens and Reps bit.ly/2UnVfCB “I urge you to include the policy solutions proposed by the #nonprofit community bit.ly/2IZKeSO in #COVID19 relief legislation.”
