This can happen in my lifetime! Paris, here we come! Thank you, Senator Buttigieg!!!
As Theo Braddy explains, millions of Americans with disabilities don't travel by plane because of inadequate airline practices.
Today, we have announced strengthened protections for passengers with disabilities and more rigorous standards for airlines when handling wheelchairs.
I could not be more proud to have been invited to speak to so many outstanding advocates at #NCIL2024. Your advocacy - your voice - is what will ensure that the #ADA is enforced and meaningful for #disabilityinclusion!
I believe we can make it through whatever is ahead, but we can’t do it without everyone from every movement acting in solidarity with disabled people. Make your spaces accessible, wear a mask, help keep us safe. Nobody’s free until we’re all free.
I have dedicated my life to making sure Pennsylvanians’ voices are heard, whether on the floor of the Senate or in a free and fair election. It has been made clear there are more than 100,000 votes still to be counted. Pennsylvania is where our democratic process was born. We must allow that process to play out and ensure that every vote that is eligible to be counted will be counted. That is what Pennsylvania deserves.

I convened Black leaders from across civil rights, faith-based, and provider organizations this morning.
We cannot ignore the real struggles faced by Black Americans in accessing health care; their stories resonate deep within us, and it's time to change the narrative.
