What a turnout it was at Politics and Prose for the reading and
discussion by Judy Heumann (https://time.com/5793652/judith-heumann-100-women-of-the-year/) of
her new book, Being Heumann (https://www.politics-prose.com/book/9780807019290). The
place was packed, and all the books sold out, as she read passages from her
book and held a dialogue with former government official and rights attorney
John Wodatch about her many accomplishments, including the 504 Sit-in. I
saw several people I know there, and many other activists and allies who turned
out for this great event.

ready for April, when the DD Council will host its second annual Autism
Awareness and Acceptance Month event – watch this space!
* An earlier version of this post said there would be a Project ACTION! (https://www.dcqualitytrust.org/families/join-project-action/) meeting March 14, but I've since learned the March meeting has been cancelled – next ones are April 4 and May 16 – come, join and learn!
