Spotlight On The Resistance – MONDAY 12/24/18
A little less than two years ago, I was listening to “This American Life” on NPR. It was a segment profiling a group of trolls celebrating Trump’s victory at “The Deploraball”. I instantly knew I had to be a voice that countered their lies and hate. That was the day I started my Twitter account.
As I drew more from my personal experiences as a disabled veteran, I started to become an unintentional advocate for issues that not only impacted my fellow vets, but also others who had health care concerns. This advocacy has brought me to Washington three times, where I speak with congressional offices about these issues.
My main intention for my account is to show others that their voices matter. That is done through my trips to D.C., periscope feeds of local marches, and sharing stories that move people to action.
In the future I look to continue my mission by sharing my experiences and the voices of everyday Americans that want to make this country a better place for everyone.
