     In The Cancer Journals, Audre Lorde writes: When I dare to be perwoful to use my strength in the service of my vision then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid. While not necessarily aimed at people with disabilities, it’s clear that Lorde’s experience with breast cancer, her mastectomies, her refusal to use breast forms (which she saw as a kind of lie, both to herself and to others, told to make things easier for other people, to make herself more palatable to them) speaks to the experience of many women with disabilities especially because women in so many cultures are socialized to be quiet, to not rock the boat. What i think Lorde is saying here is that when you believe in your own power, you stop listening to the socializing forces and attack the status quo. Because, as she writes in the same book, your silence will not protect you.

   This Bill will push people who live on the breadline into further poverty. The disproportionate targeting of vulnerable members of society is cowardly and unjust.
