#DisabledLatina, academic/activist, Katherine Perez, invites you to explore policies and laws that impact the lives of individuals with disabilities.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Gotta love the rich irony of people who fondly recount stories of how their family’s last names were changed on Ellis Island after their relatives snuck onto a boat escaping some horror now taking fervent anti-immigrant stances & branding innocent human beings as “illegal.”

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

.@KamalaHarris doesn’t have shit to prove.

.@ElenaHung202 & @DisRtsBlog on #PublicCharge: "the proposal’s fundamental injustice of deliberately excluding people with disabilities, who are disproportionately likely to live in poverty, is compounded by the abuse of equating wealth with worth." https://t.co/m2w1YG55Nm
