We will remember who stood with the disability community by voting against this dangerous budget. We will also not forget who voted for this dangerous budget, which steals life-saving benefits from the disability community to pay for tax cuts during Disability Pride Month! #DisabilitySky
A text-based message states that a dangerous budget, approved by the House and Senate, is anticipated to be signed by the current occupant tomorrow. Without actions from state and local governments to mitigate the impact, seventeen million people will lose access to healthcare. Further updates on next steps will be provided by the Leadership Team of Disability Community for Democracy. A logo for Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. is present.

The US Senate voted for this Big BS Budget earlier today. We need to call our members of the House to let them know that they need to vote NO! The number to the Capitol Switchboard is 202-224-3121. #HandOffMedicaid #HandOffMedicare
The image is a public service announcement urging viewers to call their member of the House to vote against the budget to protect Medicaid and Medicare. The text is in bold, purple font. A phone number, 202-224-3121, is below the call to action. The background features a man in a wheelchair. He is wearing a light blue shirt and gray pants. He is smiling and talking on a cell phone. Behind him are several round, gray spheres. The background is slightly blurred.

Speak out with peaceful protests against this latest government action in Los Angeles. A formal statement from our CEO and Founder is coming soon. #DisabilityJustice #TheRuleOfLaw #DueProcess #Immigrants
The image contains a statement from the Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. It advocates for upholding the rule of law and against taking individuals off the streets without due process. The statement emphasizes that this is not about left versus right, but about right versus wrong. It highlights the importance of protecting marginalized groups, including those with disabilities, from being denied due process. The message encourages everyone to speak out against injustice, regardless of their political stance, as it is a matter of collective safety and well-being.

The graphic design is simple and direct, using bold black text on a white background to deliver its message with impact. The bottom of the image includes a website address, which is not fully visible but appears to be related to disability advocacy and democracy. This image is a blue square with white text that reads "Sign up here to get involved!". Below the text is a black and white QR code and the URL "https://forms.gle/TyJfZ7MaknBhyW7x7".

Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. is excited to partner with VIVID on Inclusion Day on April 30th in Washington, D.C. Inclusion Day will be accessible to individuals with disabilities. For any accessibility requirements, please reach out to [email protected]. #LGBTQIARights
Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. advocates for disability justice, which includes championing the civil rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals. In the United States, nearly 30% of the population lives with a disability. Among this demographic, approximately 36% of LGBTQ+ adults self-identify as having a disability, based on data from the HRC (Human Rights Campaign) Foundation. A block of text, likely a press release or announcement, states that 35% of cisgender LGBTQ+ adults and 52% of transgender adults (including both LGBTQ+ and straight transgender adults) report having a disability, according to the HRC Foundation. The text goes on to say that, as a result, the organization is partnering with VIVID to ensure that Inclusion Day will be accessible for individuals with disabilities. It urges the reader to mark their calendars for Inclusion Day on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, in Washington, D.C. The background is a solid, vibrant purple color. A schedule for an event, displayed against a solid purple background.  The schedule lists the following time slots and activities: * 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM: Opening Rally @ National Mall * 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM: March Prep & Safety Briefing * 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM: THE MARCH * 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM: Rally @ Lincoln Memorial & Reflecting Pool The text is simple, sans-serif, and white, clearly legible against the deep purple. A text-based announcement.  The text encourages people to participate in local Inclusion Day events on April 30th, even if they can't be in Washington, D.C. It suggests joining events, boycotts, and campaigns to support a message. The text also provides a contact email address (accessibility@wearevivid.org) for accessibility requirements related to the Inclusion Day activities. The text is presented on a solid, vibrant purple background.

ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES

U.S. job cuts hit 275,240 in March 2025, the highest since the pandemic peak in 2020, surpassing 2001 & 2008 recessions. Layoffs surge as federal cuts, led by DOGE, echo Covid-era losses.

It's the third highest monthly total on record.
