✊🏼 It's never too early to #CripTheVote!

I never want to give the impression that I speak on behalf of the entire disability community. But there is one thing I'm pretty confident is universal: the desire for a more inclusive, more accessible world. To reach that, we can't return to "normal." We must return to better.

Wheelchair user here. I don't actually want or need this. It isn't helpful. It doesn't account for inaccessibility beyond entry points. Tech companies: stop wasting money on building robotic "fixes." Support elimination of structural inaccessibility.

State-funded group homes in NY are facing a funding crisis due to cuts from the state & federal government. If funding is cut to these homes nearly 38,000 individuals with disabilities who reside in a residential setting will be drastically impacted.

Thank you to @redbankpl for donating 4 boxes of books to The Arc's day programs. We know many readers who will be excited to explore these when in-person programs reopen. 📚

Calling all PCCS DSPs! If you missed it, we're raffling off a new gift each day this week to one lucky DSP, for all of their hard work and dedication, as we celebrate DSP Appreciation Week! Tune into our Facebook each day this week as we announce the winners!

It is DSP Recognition Week. Now more than ever, DSPs everywhere deserve our full support and appreciation for striving towards social justice and full lives for people with developmental disabilities. Through the week we will celebrate the work they do.

Sibs, 📣 Isolation and accessible information regarding healthcare are a few ways that people with disabilities are vulnerable during this #covid-19 pandemic. We signed a letter endorsing equal medical treatment. Read more below or visit our website to read the full letter.

Hi Sibs, At the SLN sharing is caring. That's why we're putting this resource on your radar. @AUCDNews is offering a month-long webinar series on disability inclusion as it relates to the novel coronavirus. Find out more at this link: https://t.co/d0yhD3UcLZ

Meet @HabenGirma: The daughter of a refugee from Eritrea and an immigrant from Ethiopia, she surfs, she salsa dances, she climbs glaciers, and in 2013, she became the first deafblind person to graduate from Harvard Law School.

Should be off Twitter recovering from surgery but my cover story for @NewMobilityMag is live & TBH, it's my magnum opus on the problems with disability as inspiration. Sincerely hope it's a useful resource for anyone pushing back against #InspirationPorn.

If people with disabilities voted at the same rate as people w/o disabilities in 2016, there would have been an additional 2.2 million votes! Let's #REVUP & make sure the disability vote is heard. Get out & register this week! #DisabilityVote
