I join so many around the world in mourning the passing of Judith Heumann, a civil rights and disability rights icon, a pioneer within the State Department, and a beloved colleague. Judy leaves behind a world that—because of her relentless efforts—is more inclusive for all.
Today, we celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The United States remains steadfast in our commitment and resolve to promote respect for the human rights of persons with disabilities around the world. #IDPD https://t.co/tAPOAUaoYP

It’s past time we talk about disability and race as it relates to police violence. Many disabled people are rightfully fearful we may be written out of the conversation. So today is a day of direct action for #BlackDisabledLivesMatter.
The International Day of Persons with Disabilities is a time to reflect on the importance of promoting and protecting the rights of persons with disabilities. We remain committed to creating a world in which disabled people enjoy dignity and full inclusion. #AccessForAll#IDPWD
The U.S. remains a leader in promoting the rights of persons with disabilities both at home & abroad. That is why, this month, the U.S. endorsed the Charter on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action. #DisabilityRights#ADA29 https://t.co/DFV9DnHRbc
