New Horizons Independent Living Center - Enabling people with disabilities to live independently. 29 Parishes of North LA

Driver to me, a wheelchair user: “Get out of the street. You’re going to get killed.”
Me: “There are no sidewalks here. I have no choice.”
Driver: “Then stay home.”

Disabled people are not “staying home.”
Don’t blame disabled people.
Fix inaccessibility.

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

Disability is not weakness.

We have to work together to get out of this surge. LDH strongly recommends getting vaccinated and boosted if eligible, masking indoors as well as outside when distancing is not possible, and limiting your exposure to those not in your household.
