The text at the top of the stage reads:

"REV UP We the People Voter Spotlight
Autumn Lauener (they/ she)
Disability and LGBTQ rights activist

"Past generations of disability activists have forced open the gate that excluded disabled people from society. As the ADA generation, our duty is not just to open that gate wider. Our duty is to tear that gate off the hinges so it can never be closed again. Making that goal a reality starts with all of us voting."
