Action
A black and white photo on stairs of

My Medicaid Matters
On a green grassy lawn in a park
with trees are a crowd of individuals
with disabilities. Ian (who has a
hand cupped to his mouth and
appears to be shouting, imagine
that) and a person using a power
chair (whose arm in raised in
protest) are in front and Aslan is
laying on the grass behind them.
People are in various shades of
yellow t-shirts. Several have a blue
banner with white words on it that
they are holding waist high.
Negotiations
Ian is sitting looking up at a police
officer who is looking in the other
direction. This is at a rally at Paul
Ryans’ office during the Medicaid
Block Grant negotiations.
