Last fall, Judy captivated the room at the reception for the bipartisan Int'l Children w/ Disabilities Protection Act, sharing her story. Her contribution to the progress of rights for people w/ disabilities has changed our country for the better.
May her memory be a blessing.

Thanks to @usmissiongeneva for hosting important #Ukraine discussion yesterday. Laws of war aren't optional. All civilians including those w/#disabilities must be protected & illegal orders resisted. All personnel, senior or junior, are answerable to international criminal law.
