Winter storms are coming. Snow, ice & freezing temps create extra risks for disabled people: power outages, inaccessible travel, disrupted care.

Here is a checklist to help you plan ahead:

The REAADI for Disasters Act is back in Congress! It strengthens disability civil rights in disasters and adds new funding for community-based response and disability-inclusive preparedness. Ask your Congressperson to co-sponsor REAADI today! #REAADI #DisabilityJustice

The Partnership mourns disability rights legend Bob Kafka, who passed at 79. A leader in ADAPT for over 40 years, Bob fought to keep disabled people in the community and helped shape the ADA and Money Follows the Person and RevUp.
Bob’s legacy lives on: “Don’t mourn, organize.”

Winter 2025 is bringing longer nights and colder storms, which can worsen seasonal depression for disabled people.

Preparing for low-level days: warm layers, easy meals, charged devices, and a check-in plan, keeps us safe.

We’re in this together.

Four weeks since Alice Wong’s passing. Her wisdom calls us to let disabled voices lead and build systems where we thrive, not just survive disasters, policy failures, or inaccessible systems. Thank you, Alice. Rest in power.

Urgent: Governments have until end of December to comment on the UN’s draft PPED treaty.

It will shape how States respond to disasters while protecting people’s rights, but key disability protections are still missing.

Act now!

Our colleague Shari shares, Stages of Grief was “haunting, powerful, and left me angry, uplifted, empowered, and unexpectedly hopeful.”

We hope you’ll watch and share this performance.

Grieving Alice Wong and holding deep gratitude for how clearly she named our experiences. She reminded us that disability is complicated, beautiful, political, risky, and joyful. She gave us language for the pride and pain, the visibility and the cost. We carry her words forward.

We mourn deeply the loss of Alice Wong, writer, activist, and founder of the Disability Visibility Project. She uplifted Disabled stories, championed inclusive disaster work, and fought for our survival and joy.

Her impact will continue to shape our community for years to come.
