Time flies! It's been a whole year since the launch of the Voices of Disability Economic Justice project, a commentary series edited by Emily Ladau that shines a light on the economic disparities that disabled people experience. linkedin.com/posts/dejc_voi…

Just as people with disabilities do not only practice Disability Pride in July, this National Disability Employment Awareness Month (#NDEAM), commit to expanding the conversation beyond October. Here's how: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
Care work is the backbone of our society. The U.S. has failed to adequately invest in it. On 10/24: Join @TCFdotorg + @CareworkN for a virtual event discussing the new book From Crisis to Catastrophe, and reimagining what the care sector could look like: bit.ly/3RQWVUB
This is BAD #CripTheVote
New in the Voices of Disability Economic Justice series: Mary-Faith Martinez opens up about stigma she encounters as a young chronically ill person who has struggled to find an accessible work & receives financial support from her parents. #VoicesOfDEJ tcf.org/content/commen…
DEADLINE EXTENDED: respond to the Transportation Accessibility #Survey by Friday, October 13. Influence #transportation #Accessibility policymaking to ensure the future of air travel is inclusive to all. Every data point counts! #DisabilityRights #Accessibility #JustPlaneWrong

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments to determine whether or not a disabled person acting as a tester should be able to challenge ADA violations in court. If we lose tester standing, how will we enforce our rights? We must #ProtectADA huffpost.com/entry/scotus-o…
Today, we'll be live-tweeting a conversation on disability and housing with @AmandaAndere, @AllieCannington, and @DisabilityPower's Dessa Cosma. Follow along using the hashtag #DisabilityPhilanthropy.
I had never heard the term "#MedicaidDivorce" before the last few years. The idea that families are forced to choose between each other and health care, is unacceptable. #DemolishDisabledPoverty thenation.com/article/societ…
DisCo, The DEJC is conducting a domestic survey of airline accessibility. If you are someone with a disability interested in influencing airline accessibility, please fill out our 5-10 min survey: surveymonkey.com/r/JX7RKW8 #DisCo #DisabilityTwitter #Disability #RightsOnFlights
As National Disability Employment Awareness Month (#NDEAM) begins, remember: to achieve economic justice, we must break down systemic barriers to employment opportunities for disabled people. Our #VoicesofDEJ blogs offer insights on many of these barriers. tcf.org/topics/economy…
My latest at @thenation “the current structure of the program and its asset limits ensure that low-income seniors, disabled people, and their families, are never able to move away from a life of poverty” #DemolishDisabledPoverty #CripTheVote thenation.com/article/societ…
Are you a disabled person who has encountered air travel barriers? We want to hear from you! ✈️ Please take and RT our quick survey to support our study on missed markets in consumer aviation. ⬇️ surveymonkey.com/r/JX7RKW8 #RightsOnFlights #JustPlaneWrong #DisabilityTwitter
Did you know today marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Rehabilitation (Rehab) Act of 1973? It was the first federal legislation to address access and equity for disabled people. Learn more by checking out this interview series, 504 at 50. section504at50.org
Today is the 50th anniversary of both the Rehabilitation Act and the Access Board! 🎉 Signed on September 26, 1973, the #RehabAct created the Board to enforce the #ABA and develop #accessible design standards. Through our work, we promote #equality for people with #disabilities.
For years, researchers say it was difficult to study health inequities that people with disabilities experience, because the way this population was classified by the NIH limited access to funding. Now, that's changed: washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/…
For Aja Hannah, an autistic mom of neurodivergent kids, the lack of systemic supports available takes both an emotional and economic toll. Read her perspective in our latest Voices of Disability Economic Justice piece. #VoicesOfDEJ #DisabilityTwitter tcf.org/content/commen…

We are hopeful that the U.S. Supreme Court will allow testers to continue to play a meaningful role in the enforcement of civil rights laws and bring the Americans with Disabilities Act still-unfulfilled promise closer to fruition. #AchesonVLaufer #ADA dredf.org/2023/10/04/dre…

The $2,000 SSI asset limit hasn’t been updated for inflation since 1984—the year I was born. Here’s why everyone agrees: let’s pass @SenSherrodBrown @SenBillCassidy @RepBrianHiggins @RepBrianFitz’s SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act to #UpdateSSI👇 tcf.org/content/commen…
If SSI's asset limits had been indexed for inflation, they would be $10,840 and $16,260 today. #UpdateSSI

If we are willing to recognize long COVID as a grave public health threat we must build new programs that will uplift the health of everyone who survived the pandemic. We have examples of bold policy responses after previous disasters – can we learn from them? TY @PubHealthPost
Long COVID is not going away. We need to go beyond research and relying on our underfunded and weak disability system. @PrincetonCHW
Following past public health disasters, including Hurricane Katrina and the Flint, Michigan lead contamination crisis, states deployed Medicaid waivers to care for people exposed to environmental hazards.
The enormity of #LongCovid also focuses the call for universal health care, as many long haulers may leave the workforce and lose their employer-sponsored insurance, adding to the ranks of the uninsured.
For example, the Black Lung Benefits Act – which provides compensation, health screenings and treatment for disabled coal miners – may be a useful model.
Providing for the needs of those living with #LongCovid is daunting, but as @PrincetonSPIA student Bronte Nevins and I found in our research, there are precedents for robust policy responses! @PrincetonCHW
Without NEW supports, we can expect to see a surge in disability-driven poverty and early death. These impacts will be felt most strongly in communities of color and among low-income families.
HHS and DOJ have defined #LongCovid as a disability under the ADA, and SSA has declared that it potentially qualifies people for disability benefits. BUT our disability system is ill equipped -- only a fraction of applicants are approved, and wait times can stretch for years.
The health consequences of #COVID could reverberate for generations, and more immediately, the CDC has said that #LongCovid is contributing to labor shortages and hurting the economy. But we don’t have the safety net to help the people living with it.
