People who use wheelchairs need access to wheelchair repair services, but none of us can seem to get them. 😡 Take a listen to learn more about this urgent issue for people with disabilities. 👩🏻🦽🧑🏾🦼♿️
More than 50% of wheelchairs break down in a typical six-month period, experts say. And while those in the industry point to many causes, people who use wheelchairs suffer the consequences.

Grateful to @AAPD for pushing lawmakers to reject policies that discriminate - and helping people w/ #disabilities to make their voice heard by voting!
Your #vote matters to ensure the election of decision-makers who value people with disabilities and will commit to reject policies that discriminate. Read our joint letter to lawmakers, signed by over 90 orgs, to learn more. https://t.co/AiWSOgcPZz

Have you voted 🗳 to make Alex Gray one of Boston’s next At-Large City Councilors yet?? #CripTheVote #bospoli
Excited to vote early today with my family in #JamaicaPlain! I appreciated having the opportunity to use the accessible AutoMARK terminal in order to cast my vote independently. #Boston #BosPoli #MAPoli #CriptheVote

When you a screen share...PLEASE also send the presentation as an attachment to the Blind and Disabled participants so they can use their screen readers to access your presentation, because Zoom doesn’t embrace disability accessibility like it should.

Infrastructure, to most politicians, means roads and bridges. Sidewalks don't always make the list, but they do for Gray.. who is running to be first blind city councilor. #CripTheVote

Gray, a senior policy manager in the mayor's Office of Workforce Development, would be the first blind city councilor in Boston's history, if elected this fall.

Some people with disabilities, like @SenDuckworth and @GregAbbott_TX, have succeeded in politics. But, overall, people with disabilities remain underrepresented in elected office, says @ColleenFlangan, executive director of @DisabilityPAC.

“Politicians like Cawthorn, Gregg Abbot and Dan Crenshaw regularly use their disabilities and stereotypes about disability to seize power and turn around to undermine disability rights and the healthcare of their constituents.”

Georgia don’t forget disability justice is on the ballot!
Since Senator Perdue refused to respond any of the questionnaires sent to him by groups working to advance disability justice - we decided to share information from his record on disability rights. #GaDisabilityVote #CripTheVote
