“People with disabilities are the largest minority in the world, and we are the most underrepresented in entertainment.” -Maysoon Zayid #Disability #Entertainment #WednesdayWisdom
Writing about the show with the BEST disability representation on television? Do you think you know what it is? I know @jaycowit knows what it is....
On April 19th at 7pm, DREDF will be hosting a hybrid event -- "A Conversation with Dr. Sami Schalk and Jonathan D. Glater"! Check out how to register and attend: linkedin.com/events/aconver…
Physical accessibility to events matters. Remote access to events matters. We can't limit remote options, espcially when physical access excludes COVID precautions. Unfortunately, even many disability orgs are doing this. It feels very "immunocompromised need not apply."

Disabled people don’t want selective, partial, limited or temporary access. Disabled people want access. Access that comes with restrictions, limitations or qualifications is not access.
Hey #DisabilityTwitter ! I’m curious to hear what other disabled people’s thoughts are on what happened to James Martin last night at the Oscars. Was it infantilization to have the crowd sing happy birthday to him instead of allowing him to give a speech? Or not a big deal?
MON at 9 AM PT w/ @alexismadrigal: We'll speak w/ @DREDF founder Arlene Mayerson, @JimLeBrecht, @NotYourAvgHo101 & @YomiWrong about Judith Heumann's legacy. ❓ How has the disability rights movement affected your life? npr.org/2023/03/04/116…
To the world, Judy Heumann was a global leader. To employees here at Microsoft, she was our hero and friend. The progress we've made in areas of disability and accessibility is due in large part to her advocacy and commitment to inclusivity. Rest in power, Judy 🤍
@DisabilityMap @iamharaldur Thanks! Just changed, will be out shortly!
The family of Judy Heumann is most appreciative and amazed at the unbelievable outpour of love and respect for Judy. They invite the community to honor her life. Services will be live-streamed and all information is available at the link below. judithheumann.com/memorial-servi…
In memory of Judy Heumann (1947 - 2023) There's a larger-than-life photo of Judy Heumann in the rotunda of the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley, where DREDF's office is located. We have rolled or walked past her image thousands of times ... #JudyHeumann dredf.org/2023/03/05/in-…
Non-disabled people and their inaccessible decisions cost us disabled people more than just money. It affects our mental health and our chance at having any financial stability. Living in an inaccessible society cannot continue to cost the earth. metro.co.uk/2023/03/02/ive…
Reporters - you can’t accurately cover voting rights and election laws if you’re not including a disability perspective. Disabled people are disproportionately impacted by anti-voting laws. Do better please.
