Glory Sellers is a sweet child who has Down Syndrome and heart-related issues. In the future, she may need a heart transplant, and potentially a kidney transplant, too. But, since Glory has Down Syndrome, she could be discriminated against by hospitals, physicians, insurance companies, and procurement organizations, keeping her from life-saving medical care and transplants because of her disability. Disabled people across the country have fought hard for decades to ensure they are treated with the same respect and dignity as able-bodied Americans. Senate Bill 158, aptly named “Glory’s Law,” would guarantee disabled people have equal and fair access to organ transplants in New Mexico!

Please sign this petition now to tell the New Mexico legislature to pass Glory’s Law! Protect disabled Americans now!
