Roll For Our Rights! - Portland, OR

My name is Amanda Siebe, I love Oregon, and I’m running for Oregon's 1st Congressional District against Suzanne Bonamici, who has taken over $6500 from Big Pharma. Will you help by donating today and helping me defeat Suzanne Bonamici???? I live with a disability and want to fight and be voice for injured workers, patients, and those who face judgement in our society because of their disability. If you live in Oregon you could qualify for a tax credit of up to $50 for single filers and $100 for joint filers, this money is use it or lose it, act quickly you only have a little while left until the end of the year!!!!

As part of my campaign and in an effort to make disability rights front and center in the 2020 election, we are planning a disability awareness event in Portland, Oregon on December 7th, 2019 to give candidates insight into what it means to be disabled. We will be renting wheelchairs for able-bodied candidates running in 2020 elections and give them the opportunity to learn from a disabled advocate while they're guided on a one on one disability tour around Portland. They will have the opportunity to learn about the physical and financial challenges we face in our daily lives, before sitting down to lunch to discuss the mental and emotional implications of disability and illness. Candidates will have the opportunity to learn, ask questions, and brainstorm what we can do to improve the living situation of those living with disabilities.

1 in 5 voters in the United States--and 1 in 4 in Oregon--live with a disability, yet when our politicians and elected officials speak about disability-related issues, they’re only referring to senior citizens and disabled veterans. While these are incredibly important and valued members of the disabled community, it is so much bigger and more diverse than just that. 

We live in a world where we're all one major sickness, injury, or diagnosis from disability, yet entire parts of our country remain inaccessible to those with disabilities. Stores, restaurants, venues, and office buildings were grandfathered into the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that hasn’t been updated since 1994, and has left those with limited mobility scrambling to ensure that whatever meeting place, cafe, or home they're headed to is accessible. Sidewalks and ramps have gone so neglected by our government that they've become safety hazards and major obstacles to maintaining functionality and quality of life. Ensuring that we have access to locations can be a full-time job and the challenges it presents keeps those with disabilities isolated.

We are trying to raise $4000 to rent wheelchairs, get advertisements put out, provide lunch, and rent audio equipment to make this event a success! 

Will you chip in and help your future leaders understand the difficulties of having a disability????

We're all in this together!!
