🚨 The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) just fired most of its staff.
As a parent of a child with Down syndrome, I’m furious — and terrified for the families, schools, and kids who rely on these programs every single day. 1/5

The Dept. of Ed fired nearly everyone who protects students with disabilities.
As a parent & special ed teacher, I know what that means.
Without oversight, who protects our kids when systems fail?
Inclusion isn’t optional — it’s a promise.

Yesterday's Disability Pride Parade NYC was a truly uplifting event!
We had many visitors stop by our booth to learn about DRA and it was wonderful to see so many of our clients, community members, and partner organizations coming together.

There is staggering cruelty in intentionally making life more difficult for an already disadvantaged & marginalized community.
This will negatively impact someone you know & it will echo throughout their entire life.

This ... I love the Arts, life wouldn't be worth living without them, ppl who create deserve to be able to not just survive but to live but so do sick & #disabled people why have we been thrown under the bus to keep Ireland in "prosperity" in Pascals own words. #DisabilityRights #Speirgorm
The Basic Income for the Arts Scheme is €325 a week, similar to what they gave out during the pandemic. This is how much they've deemed one needs in order to live in Ireland. So why is disability benefit only €244? Why are disabled and sick people expected to live so far below the poverty line?

In 1977, disabled activists staged an epic 25-day sit-in at a federal building in San Francisco. Their goal? To push for the enforcement of Section 504 regulations. Spoiler Alert: Their determination paid off! The ADA owes its existence to them. #DisabilityRights #SocialWorkRewind

They want us dead or slaves. Are we going to allow this to happen to women, children, people who need our support and deserve every bit of our humanity?! #humanrights #disabilityrights
Donald Trump wants people to work for their Medicaid—but he's making it even harder for disabled and chronically ill people to find accessible jobs.
The biggest hurdle to Trump's Medicaid work requirements: the war on disabled workers
The White House is telling Medicaid users to get jobs—while attacking everything that makes that possible.

Disabled people are vilified as:
-Scroungers & benefit cheats
-Lazy & undeserving
-A burden on hard working taxpayers
And now, under Labour’s new welfare bill, two people with the same condition can be treated totally differently.
Cruelty written into law.

“Avoiding labels” protects power, not people.
In workplaces, in schools, in families — silence is rewarded because care is costly.
