By the end of the 2022-2023 school year over 1,000 children were still waiting for a seat in a special ed preschool class- IN VIOLATION OF THEIR LEGAL RIGHTS. We can not allow this to continue. Contact City Hall- DEMAND FUNDING.

In a city where 2/3rds of public schools are inaccessible, NY public libraries are often the only space where disabled students can access resources such as braille books, asl courses etc audio books etc. The increasing NYPL budget cuts are a disability rights issue. Take action.

Two-thirds of NYC public schools are not accessible to physically disabled students. Eric Adam revealed his plan to spend $225 million to create a police training facility.

Got an email from a big brand that wants me to be the faced of a campaign they are doing. While I appreciate the good intention- instead of using flowery euphemisms to avoid saying disabled, and creating fake holidays, can they j make their stores accessible 🤷‍♀️

but I have also experienced: Friends that care about me and don’t shame me for my disability. Professors that care so much and support my passions. An amazing disability office.

being a chronically ill teenager is a weird balance about wanting to be honest abt ur life but also realizing that saying normal aspects of ur life will freak ppl out.

a reminder with the devastation that is happening in Hawaii: disabled ppl are 4x more likely to die during natural disasters. disabled people need to be included in disaster plans. consider donating to Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement.
