Thank to @VP Harris for talking with women leaders from across the country on #EqualPayDay The pay gap is even wider for disabled women and even wider for disabled women of color. A key step to achieving equal pay? Ending subminimum wage for workers with disabilities.

My fave part about this article is that my mom came in the room while I was being interviewed & the journalist totally rolled with it & ended up quoting her too.
This is a great resource for parents. So many insights from some really awesome activists!

❄️Public Service Announcement❄️
Disabled people are once again asking you to PLEASE shovel your sidewalks and keep your curb cuts clear. The mobility and safety of so many people depends on it.
Yes! 💯
It’s not a “them” & “us” issue. Disability touches all of us!

"There's not one way to be deaf. Some people wear hearing aids, some have cochlear implants, and some don't use either. It's about what works for that individual. We are a community that is proud of our culture and our language. - Millicent Simmonds

Today is the International Day of People with Disabilities but the work is every day. We look forward to the day when every person of every ability has full and equal access to all that our society offers. #Inclusion #DisabilityRights #IDPWD2020

I take this issue of disability inclusion extremely seriously.
Securing equal rights for persons with disabilities is enshrined in the values of the @UN Charter and a core promise of the #GlobalGoals: to leave no one behind. bit.ly/3mnMFAL
Racism is a public health crisis.
Researchers have found a disturbing pattern: People who live in U.S. neighborhoods once subjected to redlining are more likely to experience shorter life spans today — sometimes as much as 20 or 30 years shorter than other places in the same city.

This pandemic will not be over any time soon, so we need to figure out how to have enjoyable experiences with friends and family.
