Please stop making disabled people invisible

8. Yes I feel very invisible unless I'm in public and being stared at

Posted this a couple places to let others know what really happened. Speakers for hours talking about how social security helped them, especially those of color. Then, well you know what happened in Seattle....

"Being disabled in Seattle, this incident greatly upset me. The event was a very expensive celebration for Social Security. These young girls must be very ignorant of what that means, or extremely rude. The disabled comprise all colors and walks of life. The majority of us live in extreme poverty. We experience discrimination every day. We understand BLM and what they stand for. We too, have had many disabled people murdered by police. We are their allies. To interrupt one of the very few opportunities we ever have to get together and have people recognize us, is just so disappointing. We would never dream of wheeling up to their stage and taking over. We are also oppressed and sympathize. Please remember this. This was not a political rally it was a celebration and a way to share ideas to get us out of poverty. I wish the press would recognize this. The disabled are young and old and come from every race, religion, and sexual orientation. We deserve respect too.
I'm still waiting to hear what Bernie has to say about the disabled."

Crickets. All they talked about was BLM. I'm also still waiting for anyone to care.
