    You'll see in the corner the record button
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    So you should see that it's recording now,
  • 0:06 - 0:07
    and I'm going to mute myself now,
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    and you'll go ahead and do your intro.
  • 0:09 - 0:10
    Thank you Marcie.
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    Hi there, I'm Marcie Roth
  • 0:16 - 0:22
    and I have been working in disability rights
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    for my whole adult life,
  • 0:26 - 0:32
    and actually, since I was a freshman in high school.
  • 0:32 - 0:43
    I am currently the executive director and CEO of the World Institute on Disability,
  • 0:43 - 0:53
    and I have been working over the years in services
  • 0:53 - 1:01
    for people living in residential programs early in my career
  • 1:01 - 1:09
    with people in, children in school settings,
  • 1:09 - 1:15
    people in vocational rehabilitation,
  • 1:15 - 1:23
    and then people in community living environments,
  • 1:23 - 1:31
    then along the way, I became very involved in disability rights
  • 1:31 - 1:41
    and very involved in the early days of advocacy
  • 1:41 - 1:45
    befor the ADA was introduced.
  • 1:45 - 1:55
    And then I worked for disability advocacy organizations almost ever since.
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    In addition to my own disability,
  • 1:58 - 2:02
    I'm also the parent of two
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    now adults with disabilities.
  • 2:05 - 2:09
    My Husband also has a disability,
  • 2:09 - 2:17
    and much od my family also happen to be people with disabilities
  • 2:17 - 2:24
    so disability rights is just part of
  • 2:24 - 2:27
    everything I am and most everything I do.
  • 2:27 - 2:39
    I did spend from 2001 and onward
  • 2:39 - 2:44
    focusing very much on what happens for people with disabilityes
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    before, during, and after disasters.
  • 2:47 - 2:54
    And that's been a real particular laser focus of mine ever since,
  • 2:54 - 2:57
    and in fact, I've had the opportunity
  • 2:57 - 3:02
    as an appointee in the Obama administrashion
  • 3:02 - 3:08
    to spend just about 8 yeards at FEMA,
  • 3:08 - 3:15
    establishing FEMA's Office of Disability Integration Coordination,
  • 3:15 - 3:23
    and building a cadre of disability experts
  • 3:23 - 3:27
    of the same pond, supporting governors
  • 3:27 - 3:35
    and emergency managers and most particularly
  • 3:35 - 3:38
    engaging people with disabilities, and disability organizations
  • 3:38 - 3:42
    in emergency preparedness
  • 3:42 - 3:47
    and throughout disaster response recovery and mitigation.
  • 3:47 - 3:54
    So one last piece since I've been with
  • 3:54 - 3:59
    the World Institute on Disability since last September,
  • 3:59 - 4:06
    my ongoing focus on global
  • 4:06 - 4:09
    disability rights has really been
  • 4:09 - 4:13
    something that I've had much more
  • 4:13 - 4:16
    opportunity to be actively involved in
  • 4:16 - 4:26
    and I have spent the time since joining
  • 4:26 - 4:32
    WID building a strategic planning process
  • 4:32 - 4:37
    and supporting the organization to
  • 4:37 - 4:45
    establish new priorities, taking a look at
  • 4:45 - 4:49
    the organization's mission, and very
  • 4:49 - 4:53
    recently establishing four particular areas
  • 4:53 - 4:57
    of focus for the organization as we move Forward.
  • 4:59 - 5:02
    Thank you Marcie. Excellent, okay
  • 5:02 - 5:05
    I apologize that my neighbor is chipping
  • 5:05 - 5:08
    a lot of brush today, so it's making extra sound
  • 5:08 - 5:09
    whenever I unmute,
  • 5:09 - 5:13
    but don't worry, it won't interfere with your recording.
  • 5:13 - 5:15
    Okay, so the first question is
  • 5:15 - 5:17
    about the past. So tell of your first
  • 5:17 - 5:19
    memory realizing that there were
  • 5:19 - 5:22
    accessibility issues, discrimination, or
  • 5:22 - 5:24
    lack of inclusion. What is your personal
  • 5:24 - 5:26
    story or connection with the American with
  • 5:26 - 5:29
    Disabilities Act? What do you remember
  • 5:29 - 5:31
    about the day that it was signed, if
  • 5:31 - 5:33
    applicable? And what was the impact on
  • 5:33 - 5:36
    you and on others? Remember to tap
  • 5:36 - 5:39
    something so that the camera shifts to you
  • 5:39 - 5:40
    before you start.
  • 5:45 - 5:53
    I first became aware of disability at a
  • 5:53 - 5:58
    very young age. I had a best friend in
  • 5:58 - 6:05
    first grade. His name was Gregory, and he and i
  • 6:05 - 6:10
    were just wonderful friends.
  • 6:10 - 6:13
    We spent a lot of time together, and then all
  • 6:13 - 6:16
    of a sudden, one day Gregory was gone
  • 6:16 - 6:23
    and I didn't know what happened to him or
  • 6:23 - 6:26
    where he went and it wasn't until many
  • 6:26 - 6:30
    years later that I found out that Gregory
  • 6:30 - 6:35
    had Down Syndrome, and he had been removed
  • 6:35 - 6:39
    from my kindergarten class and first
  • 6:39 - 6:41
    grade I think it was at that point. And
  • 6:41 - 6:45
    apparently he had been sent to some other
  • 6:45 - 6:52
    school, somewhere. And the loss of his
  • 6:52 - 6:58
    friendship was pretty surprising and
  • 6:58 - 7:04
    I didn't understand you know where he went
  • 7:04 - 7:07
    Looking back on it, it was kind of
  • 7:07 - 7:09
    peculiar that we didn't just get to still
  • 7:09 - 7:12
    be friends 'cause he didn't move away,
  • 7:12 - 7:16
    he just stopped going to my school.
  • 7:16 - 7:28
    But I remember just being confused and then
  • 7:28 - 7:34
    over the next number of years, I lived in
  • 7:34 - 7:38
    a town that was also the home of
  • 7:38 - 7:43
    Save the Children, and I was always very
  • 7:43 - 7:48
    interested in the work that Save the Children
  • 7:48 - 7:54
    was doing and I am embarrassed to admit
  • 7:54 - 8:00
    my earliest involvement in humanitarian
  • 8:00 - 8:06
    work was from a very charity-model
  • 8:06 - 8:11
    approach, and I spent a lot of my
  • 8:11 - 8:16
    childhood raising money for Save the Children
  • 8:16 - 8:19
    and getting involved in other
  • 8:19 - 8:28
    activities that were very much following
  • 8:28 - 8:34
    the charity-pity model and certainly not
  • 8:34 - 8:45
    a model making space for and supporting and lifting
  • 8:45 - 8:50
    up other people with disabilities.
  • 8:50 - 8:57
    the onset of my disability wasn't until many
  • 8:57 - 9:02
    years later, but when I was in high school
  • 9:02 - 9:13
    I had the, I had a requirement to do...
  • 9:13 - 9:16
    I can't even remember what it's called now
  • 9:16 - 9:18
    community service! Sorry. I had an
  • 9:18 - 9:21
    opportunity to do-- or I had an obligation
  • 9:21 - 9:24
    to do community service and I started off
  • 9:24 - 9:29
    This was the year of the first Earth Day
  • 9:29 - 9:34
    and I started crushing glass at the local
  • 9:34 - 9:38
    recycling center and it turned out that
  • 9:38 - 9:45
    that was really boring but lots of my
  • 9:45 - 9:50
    classmates were volunteering at a state
  • 9:50 - 9:53
    institution for people with disabilities
  • 9:53 - 10:03
    and I joined them once a week and looking
  • 10:03 - 10:07
    back on it again, it was pretty shocking
  • 10:07 - 10:12
    that at 13 years old, I was assigned as
  • 10:12 - 10:16
    the teacher of a classroom of 30 adults
  • 10:16 - 10:19
    who had never had the opportunity to
  • 10:19 - 10:23
    attend school and they now had a
  • 10:23 - 10:27
    13-year old teacher once a week.
  • 10:27 - 10:32
    Needles to say, I learned way more from them
  • 10:32 - 10:36
    then they learned from me, but we had a lot of fun
  • 10:36 - 10:43
    and many of them became friends very
  • 10:43 - 10:48
    much along the rest of my path and
  • 10:48 - 10:51
    unfortunately, some of them are no longer
  • 10:51 - 10:56
    alive but there are a couple of people who
  • 10:56 - 11:00
    are still very much a part of my life and
  • 11:00 - 11:06
    fortunately, they were successful in
  • 11:06 - 11:09
    liberating themselves from that state
  • 11:09 - 11:14
    institution. And so they and many others
  • 11:14 - 11:21
    taught me a lot. But the real pivotal
  • 11:21 - 11:26
    experience for me, I was working back at
  • 11:26 - 11:30
    that state institution, it was my first
  • 11:30 - 11:36
    paid job in disability services and I had
  • 11:36 - 11:40
    been hired to work in what was called a
  • 11:40 - 11:44
    "cottage" for 40 women with intellectual
  • 11:44 - 11:51
    disabilites and this "cottage" was on
  • 11:51 - 11:55
    beautiful grounds but the women lived in a
  • 11:55 - 11:58
    building 20 on one side, 20 on the other side
  • 11:58 - 12:03
    and my responsibilities included
  • 12:03 - 12:06
    assisting them in bathing and getting
  • 12:06 - 12:13
    dressed and in eating. Many of them were
  • 12:13 - 12:21
    unable to feed themselves. Some because
  • 12:21 - 12:23
    they just had never been given the opportunity,
  • 12:23 - 12:26
    and others because of their physical Disability
  • 12:26 - 12:34
    and a lack of any sort of
  • 12:34 - 12:40
    adapted utensils or other equipment.
  • 12:40 - 12:46
    So as I was feeding people, the sort of
  • 12:46 - 12:50
    the routine was the same every day. A plate
  • Not Synced
    would come out, and there would be 3
  • Not Synced
    mounds of food on the plate. One mound was
  • Not Synced
    always brown, one mound was always
  • Not Synced
    green, and one mount was always white.
  • Not Synced
    You know the meat, the vegetable, and the
  • Not Synced
    starch. And I know that people like to
  • Not Synced
    eat their meals in different ways. There
  • Not Synced
    would also be a dessert every day, jello or
  • Not Synced
    ice cream, again always in a mound.
  • Not Synced
    And so I would spend time with each of the
  • Not Synced
    individuals who were having their meal
  • Not Synced
    and would sort of be working together,
  • Not Synced
    trying to figure out if they preferred to
  • Not Synced
    have, to eat their dessert first? Some
  • Not Synced
    people liked to do that. Did they prefer a
  • Not Synced
    little bit of the brown and a little bit
  • Not Synced
    of the white all on the same fork? Did
  • Not Synced
    they not want their food touching? You
  • Not Synced
    know and I would sort of work back and
  • Not Synced
    forth with them to try and figure out what
  • Not Synced
    their preference was and I got in trouble
  • Not Synced
    because I was spending too much time
  • Not Synced
    and ultimately, I was moved to a different
  • Not Synced
    position because I was taking too much
  • Not Synced
    time giving people an opportunity to make
  • Not Synced
    some choices and express some preferences.
  • Not Synced
    So that was extremely pivotal and in many
  • Not Synced
    ways you know, those early early
  • Not Synced
    experiences have really totally driven who
  • Not Synced
    I am and what I believe all these years
  • Not Synced
    later. In terms of the Americans with
  • Not Synced
    Disability Act, I had a very close
  • Not Synced
    personal experience with what was then
  • Not Synced
    called "public law 94142" the Education of
  • Not Synced
    All Handicapped Act, later on renamed
  • Not Synced
    Individuals with Disabilities Act, IDEA
  • Not Synced
    and I had a very personal family
  • Not Synced
    experience with IDEA and became aware of
  • Not Synced
    legislative initiatives and how the IDEA
  • Not Synced
    had just been passed. And then I started
  • Not Synced
    to become more aware of the work being
  • Not Synced
    done. And this was back in the 70s and
  • Not Synced
    work being done of other legislative
  • Not Synced
    initiatives and the 504, the passage of
  • Not Synced
    the Rehabilitation Act, followed by the
  • Not Synced
    504 sit-in in San Francisco to get the
  • Not Synced
    regulations put in place. That really
  • Not Synced
    caught my attention and between the little
  • Not Synced
    bits of information I was getting there
  • Not Synced
    and the work I was doing and then
  • Not Synced
    becoming a full-time advocate going to
  • Not Synced
    work for an independent living center in
  • Not Synced
    1982, I then became extremely involved
  • Not Synced
    in systems change and how to develop
  • Not Synced
    policy, how to organize, how to support
  • Not Synced
    the rights and voices and preferences of
  • Not Synced
    other people and because I lived in
  • Not Synced
    Connecticut and the original author of
  • Not Synced
    the Americans with Disability Act, the
  • Not Synced
    first time that it was introduced was
  • Not Synced
    Senator Weicker of Connecticut, and
  • Not Synced
    Senator Weicker, father of a great young
  • Not Synced
    man who had Down Syndrome, Senator
  • Not Synced
    Weicker was very involved with the
  • Not Synced
    disability advocacy community in
  • Not Synced
    Connecticut, and I then had the incredible
  • Not Synced
    opportunity to go to Boston and testify
  • Not Synced
    at one of the Congress major hearings--
  • Not Synced
    field hearings on the Americans with
  • Not Synced
    Disability Act. So you know of course the
  • Not Synced
    first time around, the bill didn't pass
  • Not Synced
    but we were revved up and in the
  • Not Synced
    passage of the ADA, in the period in which
  • Not Synced
    once the bill was re-introduced and votes
  • Not Synced
    were organizing, I remember that we had
  • Not Synced
    stacks and stacks and stacks of bright
  • Not Synced
    pink postcards and we were organizing
  • Not Synced
    folks across the states to develop, to
  • Not Synced
    sign those postcards supporting the
  • Not Synced
    passage of the ADA and then you know this
  • Not Synced
    was sort of a wonderful but maybe
  • Not Synced
    misleading experience, we actually were
  • Not Synced
    successful. The bill got passed! And I
  • Not Synced
    remember thinking "Oh, well this wasn't
  • Not Synced
    that hard. I mean, you know, we had to go
  • Not Synced
    at it twice, but well this wasn't so hard.
  • Not Synced
    Let's take on some more legislation!" And
  • Not Synced
    it turns out that it wasn't as easy
  • Not Synced
    as it looked to me. It wasn't just about
  • Not Synced
    hot pink postcards and meetings and
  • Not Synced
    marches--that all helped but even that
  • Not Synced
    sometimes these days, it doesn't seem to
  • Not Synced
    be enough to change policy. So that is my
  • Not Synced
    earliest journey to 1990.
  • Not Synced
    Thank you Marcie. Okay we're going to the
  • Not Synced
    present now. So just so you know, I do
  • Not Synced
    have another interview at 2:00, so we're
  • Not Synced
    going to have 3 more sections: the present
  • Not Synced
    the future, and the call to action. So
  • Not Synced
    just to pace yourself within the--thank
  • Not Synced
    you. So within the present, has the ADA
  • Not Synced
    made a difference? Tell us about your
  • Not Synced
    "aha" moment that told you that the ADA is
  • Not Synced
    or is not making a difference and to what
  • Not Synced
    extent based on your passions and areas of
  • Not Synced
    expertise, where do you see or not see the
  • Not Synced
    impact of the ADA?
  • Not Synced
    So the ADA has had a huge
  • Not Synced
    and sweeping impact
  • Not Synced
    and it's important for me
  • Not Synced
    as I begin to talk
  • Not Synced
    about the present day as we're embarking
  • Not Synced
    on ADA 30 it's really important to start
  • Not Synced
    with how much things absolutely have
  • Not Synced
    changed, certainly some of the
  • Not Synced
    architectural barrier removal efforts,
  • Not Synced
    some of the significant improvements
  • Not Synced
    in equally effective communication,
  • Not Synced
    some of the requirements around programs,
  • Not Synced
    all of those have significantly changed
  • Not Synced
    most often can't even say most--often
  • Not Synced
    there's been really great initatives over
  • Not Synced
    the years but we've always had to maintain
  • Not Synced
    a relentless battle to not
  • Not Synced
    let anything slip, to not let
  • Not Synced
    anything lose any sort of momentum
  • Not Synced
    towards accessibility,
  • Not Synced
    if we look away for a minute
  • Not Synced
    our rights will be swept away from us,
  • Not Synced
    and I can certainly talk about
  • Not Synced
    the very present day
  • Not Synced
    and what I have to say about where
  • Not Synced
    we are today is not great
  • Not Synced
    and I do want to take a little more time
  • Not Synced
    to call out the significant progress;
  • Not Synced
    in so many aspects of daily life
  • Not Synced
    in which we can
  • Not Synced
    call out failures of ADA compliance,
  • Not Synced
    enforcement of the law but oftentimes
  • Not Synced
    in comparison to the examples of where
  • Not Synced
    it's working, so when transportation
  • Not Synced
    is not accessible, we're calling it out
  • Not Synced
    because we know the good and promising
  • Not Synced
    practices that have been in place
  • Not Synced
    for transportation accessiblity
  • Not Synced
    make the failures so much more egregious
  • Not Synced
    in housing, in employment, in the kinds of
  • Not Synced
    assistive devices that are available, the
  • Not Synced
    universal design of places and things
  • Not Synced
    all of that points to examples of where we
  • Not Synced
    are getting it right and in stark contrast
  • Not Synced
    where the areas where we are
  • Not Synced
    egregiously getting it wrong
  • Not Synced
    and just very recently I have led
  • Not Synced
    my organization's involvement in
  • Not Synced
    a petition to US Dept of Health and Human
  • Not Synced
    Services demanding that people with
  • Not Synced
    disabilities be immediately relocated
  • Not Synced
    out of nursing homes and other congregate
  • Not Synced
    settings due to the
  • Not Synced
    horrific circumstances in those congregate
  • Not Synced
    settings due to covid-19
  • Not Synced
    and the failure to provide appropriate protections
  • Not Synced
    for people with disabilities
  • Not Synced
    in institutional settings
  • Not Synced
    the ADA back in 1990
  • Not Synced
    very clearly gave people with
  • Not Synced
    disabilities significant rights, and
  • Not Synced
    even when challenged in 1999 the Olmstead
  • Not Synced
    case, which was a Georgia case, two women
  • Not Synced
    Lois and Elaine, Lois Curtiss
  • Not Synced
    an incredible woman I had the
  • Not Synced
    pleasure of being with on a number
  • Not Synced
    of occasions, the two of them
  • Not Synced
    demanded that they had a right to live in
  • Not Synced
    the most integrated setting
  • Not Synced
    most appropriate to their needs,
  • Not Synced
    and the decision, the case went
  • Not Synced
    all the way to the Supreme Court
  • Not Synced
    and I was among those who
  • Not Synced
    slept outside the Supreme Court the night
  • Not Synced
    before their case was heard
  • Not Synced
    and I was among
  • Not Synced
    the folks who celebrated out in front of
  • Not Synced
    the Supreme Court the day that case came
  • Not Synced
    down in favor of Lois and Elaine's right,
  • Not Synced
    and the rights of 10s of 1000's,
  • Not Synced
    millions of people with
  • Not Synced
    disabilities to live in the most
  • Not Synced
    integrated setting
  • Not Synced
    appropriate to their needs. Given
  • Not Synced
    we are 21 years after that decision,
  • Not Synced
    yesterday American Civil Liberties Union
  • Not Synced
    submitted
  • Not Synced
    a petition and the World Institute of
  • Not Synced
    Disability joined a number of
  • Not Synced
    other disability
  • Not Synced
    organizations in bringing that petition
  • Not Synced
    demanding that people with disabilities
  • Not Synced
    immediately be relocated
  • Not Synced
    out of these congregate settings
  • Not Synced
    10s of 1000's of people have died in
  • Not Synced
    the last 100 days, the genocide
  • Not Synced
    of people with disabilities because of
  • Not Synced
    the failures of implementation of that
  • Not Synced
    Olmstead decision and the failures of our
  • Not Synced
    government to provide the kind of supports
  • Not Synced
    and services that enable
  • Not Synced
    people with disabilities
  • Not Synced
    to live safely and with the support they
  • Not Synced
    need in place in the community
  • Not Synced
    and, very infuriatingly our consistently
  • Not Synced
    persistent calls for
  • Not Synced
    people with disabilities to be
  • Not Synced
    adequately served in these, in these
  • Not Synced
    disasters have been ignored, and again
  • Not Synced
    the bottom line has been that the last 100
  • Not Synced
    days 10s of 1000's of people with
  • Not Synced
    disabilities have died. And when I was
  • Not Synced
    called on, saying that those were
  • Not Synced
    people with disabilities I have had
  • Not Synced
    conversations with a number of senior
  • Not Synced
    government officials who, like, why are
  • Not Synced
    you saying people with disabilities? And
  • Not Synced
    you know, these were old people with
  • Not Synced
    underlying conditions living in nursing
  • Not Synced
    homes and in long term care facilities.
  • Not Synced
    Well you don't go to a nursing home
  • Not Synced
    because you're old, you go to a nursing
  • Not Synced
    home because you have a disability and the
  • Not Synced
    supports and services you need to stay in
  • Not Synced
    the community have not been given to you.
  • Not Synced
    And the vast majority, some would say, all of
  • Not Synced
    those deaths in congregate settings are
  • Not Synced
    people with disabilities, most of them
  • Not Synced
    black and brown and people living in
  • Not Synced
    poverty. And the failures of Americans
  • Not Synced
    with Disabilities Act, the Olmstead
  • Not Synced
    decision, and our government's
  • Not Synced
    will to monitor and enforce this law
  • Not Synced
    and the rehabilitation act have a
  • Not Synced
    devastating impact on where we are today.
  • Not Synced
    And the death of many of our siblings.
  • Not Synced
    Without any end in sight.
  • Not Synced
    Thank you Marcie, Ok. So next on to the
  • Not Synced
    future, with the work that you've been
  • Not Synced
    doing you've seen a lot of progress
  • Not Synced
    and barriers. If you could pick one thing
  • Not Synced
    to change or that needs to occur to have
  • Not Synced
    access and equality--I know that's hard
  • Not Synced
    --one thing to have equality and access
  • Not Synced
    present in the lives of people with
  • Not Synced
    disabilities what would that be?
  • Not Synced
    The one thing that must happen:
  • Not Synced
    people with disabilities have civil rights
  • Not Synced
    protections by law and the one thing
  • Not Synced
    that must happen
  • Not Synced
    is that their rights are monitored and
  • Not Synced
    enforced without exception. Following
  • Not Synced
    the law is not enough, we need universal
  • Not Synced
    design to be the standard we need
  • Not Synced
    accessibility and accommodation
  • Not Synced
    to be readily available but we must have
  • Not Synced
    monitoring and enforcement. Every
  • Not Synced
    federal dollar is supposed to be spent in
  • Not Synced
    compliance with the rehabilitation act
  • Not Synced
    and between the Rehab Act and the ADA
  • Not Synced
    they require, their should be, no
  • Not Synced
    rue for those people with civil rights
  • Not Synced
    protections to be repeatedly denied
  • Not Synced
    and unable to fully participate
  • Not Synced
    in home and community life. Monitoring
  • Not Synced
    and enforcement must be the floor
  • Not Synced
    I have a ceiling but enforcing
  • Not Synced
    these civil rights laws is absolutely
  • Not Synced
    the floor. Thank you. What can we do?
  • Not Synced
    What can we as community members
  • Not Synced
    take right now? So what we can do right
  • Not Synced
    now is, you know, one of my favorite
  • Not Synced
    sayings, "never give up, never give in"
  • Not Synced
    another of my favorites, "nothing about us
  • Not Synced
    without us" we as disability community
  • Not Synced
    leaders need to stick together, we need to
  • Not Synced
    center our work around people who are
  • Not Synced
    multiply marginalized, excluded
  • Not Synced
    we need to be sure that we are not wasting
  • Not Synced
    our time with infighting and with
  • Not Synced
    a kind of divisive childish behavior that
  • Not Synced
    some folks are still stuck in engaging in
  • Not Synced
    we absolutely must reach a hand forward
  • Not Synced
    reach a hand back stick together
  • Not Synced
    and continue relentlessly to work
  • Not Synced
    towards the realization of the goal
  • Not Synced
    that the ADA was written around and so
  • Not Synced
    many of our siblings have fought so very
  • Not Synced
    hard for. We've lost a bunch of those
  • Not Synced
    hardworking visionary leaders; many of them
  • Not Synced
    have been lost in recent years, some of them
  • Not Synced
    have been lost along the way, we have an
  • Not Synced
    incredible legacy to care for, we have
  • Not Synced
    huge opportunities to work towards
  • Not Synced
    technology has the potential for leveling
  • Not Synced
    the playing field if in fact people have
  • Not Synced
    real access and the World Institute on
  • Not Synced
    Disability and our commitment to
  • Not Synced
    work in partnership with other
  • Not Synced
    disability lead organizations and
  • Not Synced
    our allies to make communities
  • Not Synced
    stronger, more resilient for the whole
  • Not Synced
    community because when we get it right
  • Not Synced
    for people with disabilities I think
  • Not Synced
    the whole community not only benefits
  • Not Synced
    but is stronger for our leadership, our
  • Not Synced
    contributions, our expertise in
  • Not Synced
    what it takes to make daily life work for
  • Not Synced
    everybody. Excellent, thank you.
