Disability rights advocate and thought leader. NCD Appointee by Pres Obama and Policy Advisor to Hillary. Most importantly a wife, mom and SF Resident!
Absolutely shameful. States must urgently address the accessibility of their unemployment websites to ensure people with disabilities are able to access the resources they are entitled to during this crisis.

During Disability Employment Month, we must reaffirm our commitment to eliminating barriers and expanding economic opportunity and security for people with disabilities. https://t.co/dxXdQ83mc2
@KamalaHarris What speaks truth to me is that Kamala Harris is the first candidate to launch a comprehensive disability policy and create a disability leadership council. She hears us, understands the complex issues, and will champion our cause.
Inaccessibility and discrimination in health care, housing, education, technology, and transportation can all adversely affect the lives of people with disabilities — and we’re not talking about it nearly enough on the national stage. We can change that.

This plan really gets to the heart of what we need to be fully included. Thank you for recognizing the power and potential of the 61 million Americans with disabilities in this presidential campaign.
My plan for Americans with disabilities will:
→Ensure housing and transit projects that receive federal funding are fully accessible
→Eliminate the “subminimum” wage
→Ratify U.S. participation in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
As the Trump Administration continues to abandon programs and rules that serve the more than 60 million Americans living with disabilities, I’m prepared to strengthen and expand economic opportunity.

@KamalaHarris@alexjwatters Thank you for being our disability champion! With you as our president 61 million Americans with disabilities will be able to exercise their power and reach our full potential!
Twenty-nine years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. We still have a lot of work to do to ensure that every American lives in a fully inclusive and accessible society.

Thank you, Lalla! Your support and inclusion means so very much to all Americans with disabilities and we will show up for you, support you, and do our best to bring you to the White House as our next president!
When it comes to health care, we can’t leave anybody behind — including the 130 million Americans with pre-existing conditions and 61 million Americans with disabilities. That’s why I support #MedicareForAll.
When the Supreme Court ruled on Olmstead v. L.C., they declared all Americans with disabilities deserve full inclusion in every community. Twenty years later, we still haven't made this a reality. As president, I will fight to do so. https://t.co/ZdhRbS7ZrN
@KamalaHarris Thank you, Kamala Harris for standing in support of Americans with disabilities! It means so very much to 61 million Americans, their supporters and caregivers.
Last week, the Trump Administration sought to repeal the Affordable Care Act, threatening Americans with disabilities. This is unacceptable. As president, I'll ensure all Americans receive the critical health care they need to live and thrive.
Women, people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ Americans are often underrepresented in STEM jobs. Fixing the problem starts with investing in our classrooms. That is why I’ve introduced a bill to build a pipeline of diverse talent for these good-paying jobs.
May is #MentalHealthMonth. We are facing a mental health crisis in our nation, yet too many Americans aren't receiving the treatment they need due to lack of access or stigma. Mental health is just as important as physical health. It’s on us to change the narrative.
Trump just boasted about gutting the Affordable Care Act and promised, "Now we're going for the rest."
We can't let that happen.
We must stop this President so that millions of Americans don't lose their insurance and protections for their pre-existing conditions.
When mocking a disabled reporter, @realdonaldtrump set tone of #discrimination against #PwDs. His treatment of Tricia Newbold shows pattern & support of anti-disability bullying. He’s destroying the #ADA & cannot be trusted to protect our civil rights. https://t.co/Wwxytx0a2R
The American people are raising their voices to a deafening roar today. We will not stop marching, we will not stop fighting, and we will vote on Election Day for leaders who share our values. #IWillVote
@BlairBraverman Yes! I heard Boudica wants to kiss me. She sounds very cute. Do you have the latest version of the app? It lets you add descriptions on your phone.
