| The Get Out The Vote 2014 group is asking past-or-present voters'-rights activists knowledgeable in facilitating registration and voting by differently-abled, disabled, housebound and chronically ill people —and to their polling places in jurisdictions that obstruct absentee balloting— to write or collaborate on a diary of those strategies & tactics, together with info from other resources.

 KosAbility is a Sunday 7pm eastkost/4pm leftkost volunteer diarist series, as a community for people living with disabilities, who love someone with a disability, or who want to know more about the issues. Our use of "disability" includes temporary as well as permanent conditions, from small, gnawing health/medical problems to major, life-threatening ones. Our use of "love someone" extends to cherished members of other species.
Our discussions are open threads in the context of this community. Feel free to comment on the diary topic, ask questions of the diarist or generally to everyone, share something you've learned, tell bad jokes, post photos, or rage about your situation. Our only rule is to be kind; trolls will be spayed or neutered. If you are interested in contributing a diary, contact series coordinatorpostmodernista. |
