As we celebrate #ADA30 we must keep working to address significant challenges people with disabilities still face, including:

➡️ ensuring access to affordable healthcare
➡️ guaranteeing the right to live independently https://t.co/9XTncHc7KY

For #ADA30, I’m grateful for the thousands of activists who demanded that Congress give Americans w/ disabilities basic rights.
But our work isn't over. Every issue is a disability issue & I'll keep fighting like hell for a more inclusive world.
Some Leadership Language:
