In 1990, 60 people with disabilities crawled up the Capitol steps to demand the Americans with Disabilities Act. It was signed 4 months later. Our community has always known how to fight. Keep going! 📸 Tom Olin #CapitolCrawl #DisabilityRights #ADA

The R-word is back & people w/ disabilities are bearing the hurt. 💔 The disability community's fought for decades to eliminate this slur. Its return is a warning sign. Do 1 thing today: don't repeat it. Don't laugh it off when others do. tinyurl.com/yc2fw6va [gift link]
