1/ Ellen passed away last year after an intense struggle w/ cancer and the cruelties of our current healthcare system. In her final months, Ellen was forced to use her invaluable & limited energy & time to continuously fight her insurance company... #PassNYHealth #NYHAforEllen 
2/ ...to gain access to the treatment, rehab, and hospice care she required and deserved. Ultimately, after much delay and with the support of her medical teams, she won several of her appeals...

3/ ...However, even as she was clearly dying, the insurance company continued to deny her access to in-patient hospice care, which she secured only after intervention at the congressional level...

2/ starting with our Senate cosponsors - thank you for helping the #NYHealthAct reach majority support in the Senate for the FIRST TIME EVER! #PassNYHealth
3/ Our senate sponsor & care champion!! Thank you, @NYSenatorRivera for cosponsoring the NY Health Act in 2021! We love working with you to #PassNYHealth & guarantee healthcare to all New Yorkers: for reproductive justice, disability justice, racial justice & so much more!
I'm not much for a personal year in review so instead, to celebrate New Year's Eve, here's a thread of people whose work and presence meant something to me this year (plus if you -still have donation dollars, some ideas!):
1/??? (here's a cat to keep your attention)

2/ @WFPPups: @SaulFKahn & @raphyjacobson are both dear to me but also encouraged my addiction to enter button fury via textbanking to #VoteWFP. Love @nywfp @workingfamilies for investing in youth leaders & WFP Pups texting parties were among the bright spots of the 2020 election.
3/@SaulFKahn also works w/ one of my big hopes for South Asian feminist, socialist representation in @NYCCityCouncil, @ShahanafromBK. With disability advocacy, radical language access & more, Shahana's work is grounded in experience & love. Help them win: shahanafrombk.com/donate
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Shirley Chislom !!!

The thing I am most attached / obsessed with to when it comes to the #NYHealthAct is DENTAL Care & MATERNAL CARE .
There are way too many of us putting off dental & eye care no matter how painful it may be because we dont have any other option.

We deserve to go to the hospital in peace
I literally dont know what else to say other than that healthcare is a human right and its needs to be implemented S.T.A.T
Not supporting it means people dying due to not being well versed with the system and or not being able to pay

I remember being around when we got #PassNYHealth to trend in NY , I literally never thought that would happen and that I would be seeing it.
Guess what though, I still had no access to care and booking a plane ticket was still cheaper & people were still rationing medicines
