“Before Trump will allow himself to be chased from the temple, he’ll bring it down.” I wrote that line in 2019. Some thought it hyperbolic. Well, what say you now?

Clearly this is wonderful news if ASL is your language, but it's also a way of signaling to ALL people with disabilities, that this administration SEE's you and WELCOME's you. White House commits to sign language interpreter at every press briefing thehill.com/homenews/admin…

While our film didn’t win Best Documentary Feature, we are proud of the momentum that Crip Camp has created for a push towards disability inclusion. From tonight’s historic accessible stage to the broadcast’s innovative captioning, it’s clear disability inclusion is here to stay.

Proud and excited to join Fair Fight Disability Council, to ensure disabled people can cast their ballots and fully participate in the democratic process. What's happening in TX is just an example of the battles that we face and must dismantle. fairfight.com/fair-fight-act…

Today, we recognize both the precious life and horrific passing of George Floyd, whose murder by the Minneapolis police sparked outrage and calls for social justice and action. (continued in thread)

2/3 The work is far from over, and the need for police reform, racial equity and disability justice continues. Disability Lead is proud of its members and champions those who are advancing community aid work, changing the way our communities respond to mental health emergencies,

As an immunocompromised resident, I wonder if CDPH | Chicago Department of Public Health Dr. Allison Arwady will finally do the right thing & reintroduce indoor mask mandates, especially for essential services: groceries, pharmacies, & public trans/ride shares. WHO's Tedros says it's time for us all to mask again.

My friend Dom Kelly wrote this piece on what equitable policies are needed for disabled southerners. Check it out and make sure to follow his new organization New Disabled South which is fighting for change.

I #LeadWithDisability because I want to change the culture around disability. Our perspectives are critical if we want equitable outcomes and communities.
