As a public figure in non-political fields such as musical theater and chronic illness advocacy, I am frequently cautioned against making political statements that could alienate parts of my audience. And yet there are times in my life where I feel it is morally unacceptable to stay silent, and this is one of those times.
On this page you will find some media that I have created on the topic of the 2016 presidential election, and the next (hopefully not) four years. I hope you will enjoy, and of course, feel free to share any content that resonates with you.

Dobby just heard about Trump Supporters burning Harry Potter books, and decided to stand in solidarity:
As I have spoken about quite publicly over the years, the repeal of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is not abstract to me. People I care about will suffer, and people I care about will die. If you love a chronically (or potentially terminally) ill person, this is true for you, too. Please share the above image to help demonstrate that this is a real life-or-death attack on sick and disabled Americans.
