This is important - especially in terms of supporting accessibility. However, I do think it is sad that some may use this option because they are afraid to attend a municipal meeting - the fear to participate because of threatening behavior is not freedom. That is terrorism, and it is sad to see it impacting the freedom of a democratic political institution. As a community, we need to stand up to this and assert the right of all citizens to safety as active members in their own communities! I value everyone's right to safely engage in the political process.
Emmanuel supported: Support Safe Municipal Meeting Options for All including People w/Disabilities💕I just want to thank Mr. and Mrs. Owen. They saved my life when I was down and out and without them I don't know where I'd be today. I'm proud to sign this petition.
Jason supported: Support Safe Municipal Meeting Options for All including People w/Disabilities💕As someone who is disabled, an POC, and female, and has been unfairly denied accommodations too many times, I know too much what a situation like this is like. I believe that even if it’s obvious (you wear braces, walk with a limp, or use a wheelchair), some people just look at you, and the color of your skin and turn you down, thinking you’re “faking” it. It’s disgusting and needs to stop! I would be one that could only attend a percentage of the meetings due to transportation issues (mainly restricted to the bus), not being able to out in certain types of weather, medical condition flares, and other restrictions related to my medical issues.) Unfair accommodations such as this, and retaliation on top of it, are causing us to grow more and more apart. And that’s not how it should be.
Whitney supported: Support Safe Municipal Meeting Options for All including People w/Disabilities💕You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
