Florida HB 1365 and SB 1530 would not only criminalize public sleeping, but it would allow for cities/counties to set up security-monitored camps for unhoused people. 19% of unhoused people in FL are disabled. This is criminalizing poverty and disability. wesh.com/article/republ…
NEW POLL with @DisabledSouth: Disabled voters in the South are more likely than non-disabled voters to say their community is not inclusive of disabled people. Disabled voters are more likely to agree that they face discrimination with law enforcement. dataforprogress.org/memos/2/8/dfp-…
Atlanta City Council has failed us. We deserve better. YOU deserve better. It’s time to replace them! Nominate yourself or someone else to run for Atlanta City Council in 2025 at tinyurl.com/citycouncil25. #CripTheVote #StopCopCity
Many disabled workers across the country live in poverty due to exploitive 14(c) certifications, which allow employers to pay disabled people below minimum wage. Here's what you need to know.
Over 400 anti-voting measures have been introduced across the country in recent years. Drop box restrictions, mail-in ballot limitations, making it illegal to assist disabled voters, and other things make it harder for disabled people to vote.
The world is watching. We stand firmly against this genocide/ethnic cleansing and stand in solidarity with all oppressed people on this planet. We call upon disability leaders and all people of conscience to do what is right. Donate to help here: map.org.uk/donate/donatio…

In the U.S., you're guaranteed care in a nursing home or institution but not in your own home. That is especially true in the South, which has the largest percentage of disabled people waiting for care. It doesn't have to be this way.
Tortuguita’s memory and the memories of all those stolen by police killings demand that we all continue the collective struggle for a future without state violence. In their name, we fight to Stop Cop City and build a better world.
For @inthesetimesmag I wrote about disabled voting. I shared about my wife’s grandmother, a Black woman who gained her right to vote on her 28th birthday - the day the VRA became law. June 2020 was the first election since where she wasn’t allowed to vote. inthesetimes.com/article/voting…
Today during public comment, a supporter of Cop City told two Asian American members of our coalition to "go back to where you came from" from the podium. These actions are unacceptable, racist, xenophobic, and disgusting. We denounce them unequivocally.
Join NDSR’s e.k. hoffman as part of a discussion with @AFFACharleston on Sep 19 at Union Station in Charleston for Coming-In: Learning from Our Diverse Journeys and Experiences and Visions for the Future.
New Disabled South and New Disabled South Rising condemn the city of Atlanta’s refusal to count and verify signatures on petitions calling for Cop City to be put on the ballot.
We’re so proud to be a part of the @CopCityVote coalition!

@KMichelle_Atl @ClaraTGreen @marisapk @Maryhooks @kamaufranklin Remember my handout at our first meeting😂 I also want to shout-out all of the amazing organizations that have supported the referendum @DisSouthRising @WfpGeorgia @georgiayouthco @CommunityMvt @ignitekindred @afsc_org @BlackVotersMtr @fairfightaction @NewGAProject (and more!)
Clearing this hurdle was no small task. In fact, it is unprecedented in our state! Today, take the time to thank the volunteers that made this campaign possible. Here's a few (amazing) people that come to mind: @ClaraTGreen @marisapk @Maryhooks @KMichelle_Atl @kamaufranklin 2/2
The @CopCityVote referendum campaign succeeded in collecting 116,000 signatures - far surpassed the threshold requirement of 58,000 signatures - the equivalent of 15% of registered voters as of the last election - required by law to place a referendum question on the ballot. 1/2
City of Atlanta Democrats are betraying basically every single organization that helped get them, Warnock, Ossoff, all the congressional Democrats, and Biden-Harris elected. The orgs they’re betraying knocked 10s of millions of doors over 5 years and stopped a coup. Shame
116,000 signatures. Can you hear us now, Atlanta? #StopCopCity
BREAKING: The City is refusing to start the verification process for @CopCityVote petitions, citing advice from outside counsel fighting to disqualify the referendum in court. The memo was released in a closed, virtual press conference held by the mayor's office. Updates tk
The 4th person in a month died at Fulton County Prison. He was 34, bipolar, and had just reported his abuse a few days earlier. He was denied water, no toilet, was beaten by guards. They’re murdering disabled people and the ghouls in charge don’t care. fox5atlanta.com/news/exclusive…
No Cop City, no new jails, no further police militarization, period! #stopcopcity
This is a policy choice that the @cit_atlanta is making to verify every single signature. They could instead randomly sample signatures. Or, they could accept the petition and put the question on the ballot, and let the (fully verified) voters decide.

Today, the city of Atlanta confirmed they plan to use exact match as part of their verification process for petitions to get #StopCopCity on the ballot. Exact match is an ableist, racist tool for voter suppress, and it disproportionately disenfranchises disabled voters. (1/)
@ChrisTest82 @andreforatlanta Oh trust me, we are going to be putting out a statement against it. We’ve been firmly against Cop City and my c4 @DisSouthRising is the fiscal sponsor for the referendum campaign. More coming.
