Disabled people are leaders. Disabled people are voters. Disabled people know that we deserve better than Donald Trump. #Disabled4Kamala

Trump in Wisconsin calls Harris "mentally disabled": "Joe Biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way."

Thousands of disabled workers are paid less than minimum wage — and the Biden Harris administration is working to change it. Kamala committed to ending the subminimum wage in 2020. We hope to see that commitment renewed! #Disabled4Kamala #DemolishDisabledPoverty

Disability policy went largely undiscussed at the #DNC. We are committed to pushing the Harris/Walz administration to more publicly address the barriers the disabled community combats. #Disabled4Kamala
A blue graphic with white letters reads: "Disabled Folks for Kamala plans to work hard to ensure the Harris/Walz ticket is elected in November. We believe that their administration provides the best opportunity for the disability community to thrive now, not in some far off future. We are disappointed that there was no explicit mention of disability policies or disability community priorities during the Democratic National Convention last week. The disability community is a major part of the Democratic coalition and we deserve to be taken seriously. We are committed to working with the Harris/Walz team to ensure that when they're in the White House in 2025, the Harris/Walz Administration will address the policy priorities of our community." The Disabled Folks for Kamala Harris logo is at the bottom of the graphic.

Night 2 at the DNC stressed the importance of Medicaid and health care, reminders that we will not go back, and the clear instructions from the Obamas: Do something, and get to work.

Son of a bitch, I'm in!

When Medicare can't get me my migraine meds for under $500/month and I have to go straight to the manufacturer, there's a problem.

And I felt seen, finally, when the disabled were mentioned along with seniors in the recent announcement!
