    Jessica Irwin! Thank you for speaking out. I running late today and my loved ones birthday and this loved one died in February of ALS, which forced her to become nonverbal. I saw all the injustices and tried to stop as many as I could. I will definitely look you up and see where I can help so others can stop being treated this way. They are all intelligent, capable talented and need to be treated as such. They have a voice that needs to be heard. Their ability to choose/be heard should not be taken away from them.

This speaker took on gerrymandering in her state — and won! #TEDTalks

You don’t need political power to make real change, says activist Katie Fahey. She tells the story of how she led a successful movement in Michigan to end gerrymandering — the practice of drawing district lines to favor one political party — and how it all started with a simple social media post.
