Happy International Day of People with Disability!

It’s #IDPwD ! Today, I’m remembering that access, equity and inclusion is something we’ve got to work on everyday.

#UpdateSSI

This month, #SSI turns 50.

But it's a bittersweet anniversary, since SSI's been left to wither on the vine for nearly as long.

Join Disability Economic Justice Collaborative The Century Foundation Elizabeth Warren Sherrod Brown Ron Wyden + friends this Thurs. for a virtual event on #SSI at50 & the road ahead to #UpdateSSI !

Fact: Disabled people experience poverty at nearly twice the rate of non-disabled people.

Barriers to employment—including denial of reasonable #ADA accommodations, biases in hiring, & a lack of accessibility—prevent disabled people from reaching true economic equity. #NDEAM

So proud of my big brother and his groundbreaking research.

We love baseball!!

“We are trapping people in a place where dignity is out of reach.”

The Olmstead decision affirms inclusion, participation and opportunity. These are foundational to achieving economic justice. #OlmsteadAt23

It was an honour to be interviewed by the amazing Itto Outini for Ability Magazine about disability policy, and how crucial it is for the mission of equality in our societies.

'Policy is a cornerstone, but in a free society, it’s beholden on all of us to live inclusively.'
