Durham Dis-able: When Disability Advocacy Excludes Disabled Voices

Durham Dis-able: When Disability Advocacy Excludes Disabled Voices Yet you (DurhamEnable) didn’t support me or the significant work I’ve put into advocacy around medical cannabis. Excluding disabled advocates due to prescribed medical cannabis is never a positive step — it moves advocacy in the wrong direction.
