We were proud to be in the room last week when Frank Stephens shared his life experience with a House Appropriations Subcommittee, which held its first-ever hearing on #Downsyndrome research. Frank makes a powerful case for the importance of funding DS research.

the fact that this man has to plead to a community that his life has value shows how far we have lost our way...

Hearing this young man speak has this old man in tears. "We shouldn't have to explain our existence!" WOW. This man is awesome. Wishing this man a long and happy life.

My younger brother has down syndrome, and he truly is a source of happiness, I love him so much. I would do anything and everything for him <3

Nobody should have to justify their existence, and happiness is worth so much! I want my 3 year old son (who has DS) to grow up in a world of inclusion. Frank, you are amazing. Thank you for being a fighter.

Unbelievable courage to sit and give a brilliant speech in front of subcommittee like that. Truly amazing and inspirational.

I love that all these professional people are taking the time to let Frank speak and also looking down from where they are and smiling in surprise for this is the first man I’ve seen in history to make a speech on down syndrome

I cannot smash the like button enough thank you sir for your diligence and your commitment to this cause. I work with the developmentally disabled and you are my hero sir.

This man needs to be on a talk show circuit. Not enough people watch C-SPAN. What he has to say is insanely eye opening and he keeps it light and fun even though it's such a serious topic. He made his point eloquently.

Makes more sense than most California legislators, this man should be voted into their state senate.
