Many in the disability community shared online and in print why this will harm them with detailed explanations and stories. I wrote\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eater.com\/2018\/7\/19\/17586742\/plastic-straw-ban-disabilities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">an essay for Eater.com<\/a> about accessibility, hospitality, and the straw ban and included this sentence, &#8220;Believe disabled people. Period.&#8221; This is a basic guiding principle that applies to practically every situation.\u00a0I hope it becomes a conversation starter (in a good way) if you wear it. All proceeds will support the work of the Disability Visibility Project\u00ae.
