.@ASAnews @ASADisability missed the deadline to request a remote presentation by 2 days and now I can’t present my own research that I have been working on for two years. This is incredibly ableist for an organization that claims to promote "access for all”. Do BETTER @ASAnews!

While this article is geared towards Australia, many people w/disabilties still face challenges with finding a job despite having equal qualifications to their non-disabled peers. #DisabilityInclusion

Climate change impacts everyone, especially persons w/disabilities. 80% of disabled people live in the Global South, which is where many of them are vulnerable to severe climate events. #climatecrisis #Disability
