“Judy was a tireless advocate, a joyful presence, and one of the most elegant women I have known. The world is a lesser place without her,” said Phyllis Magrab, Director of the GUCCHD. A Tribute to Judy Heumann: https://t.co/8EctvQT24B Photo Credit: https://t.co/ZrYzPKqJao

I’ve been stewing in my feelings over the loss of @judithheumann. The way she truly reached people for them to see that disability rights benefit everyone, not just disabled people, give me hope for the future of the movement. In her passing, I feel that she is still here for us.

On this #IDPD2022, I’m reading Crip Kinship by Shayda Kafai. In the spirit of this book, I implore of you to unapologetically love all parts of yourself: your queer, radical, ethnic, political, and disabled parts.
