👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏If you’ve ever questioned the value of social media, know this... Today, just a few hours ago, the Louisiana Senate voted 34-0 to make it illegal to discriminate against someone with a disability in the organ transplant process LARGELY because of connections made on social media. #EviesLaw is officially headed to the Governor’s Office to be signed into law and as crazy as it sounds, in so many ways, we have FB and IG to thank!

An IG post by an awesome DS mom (@sweet.on.sutton) inspired by a post by another awesome DS mom (@downrightwild)... made us here in Louisiana question, How on God’s green Earth are children with disabilities being denied organ transplants simply because they have a disability??? But then we saw more posts and we knew we had to do something.

That’s when we found the National DS Society’s page (@ndssorg) and the incredible resources they provide in conjunction with the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. With their help, we were able to draft an anti-discrimination bill for LA. And we knew exactly who to reach out to....

We’d been Facebook stalking this incredible, super mom and advocate Katie Corkern (@kscorkern) for YEARS and even though we had never met, we KNEW she was just the rockstar to take us to the next level! And sure enough, right away she hooked us up with the sweetest, most passionate legislator, Representative Malinda Brumfield-White.

With their help - bolstered by the advocacy of the coolest group of DS parents on social media Upside Downs - and all of YOUR support following our journey and blasting legislators with emails at every step... we did it. 🙌🏼 Evie’s Law is a real thing. It’s happening!

Guys, we may literally save lives and we have all of you and all the amazing connections made from these silly apps to thank. So... thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!!!
