Alexander Garrett

Thanks to Podmatch AGAIN for connnecting me with an amazing guest, Devon Wieters, on One Leg Up With Alex Garrettt! Devon is a college graduate, writer, and podcaster who just happens to have cerebral palsy. She is passionate about creating a better world for all! She is also fiercely advocating for the passage of the SSI Restoration Act, which would eliminate the Social Security/Medicaid “marriage penalty” and the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act, which would raise the salary and asset limits for Social Security and Medicaid. These changes would allow people with disabilities to work and marry without losing vital disability benefits. Devon can bring awareness to the myriad of issues people with disabilities still face and what changes need to be made at both federal and state levels to help people with disabilities and their families and caregivers thrive! She is also advocating for a man named Crosley Green to be released from prison, who she believes was wrongfully convicted of murder in Florida in 199
