In November 2022 we were removed from a flight from Seattle to Bellingham because my chair weighed 21 pounds more than the allowed limit.
This did not sit well with me and I have been campaigning for changes ever since. I think we should be allowed to fly in the cabin with our chairs. It’s time our chairs and our bodies are never treated like cargo ever again.

I am not alone. See https://www.allwheelsup.org for their efforts.
Let’s get this done.
