I sit here reading through all your notes and it is honestly so overwhelming to see how many people realize that women with disabilities are being left behind in our current system. My laptop has been running hot from all the research and the drafting of these letters to various offices because I refuse to let this stay quiet. It is a long process and sometimes it feels like shouting into the wind but then I get another notification and I know the work is worth it.
