"We face multiple & increasing crises in our time[...] people with #intellectualdisabilities are among the most impacted, the most left behind, and the most at risk of death. More than ever, #INCLUSION is crucial. Thank you for facing this truth in our time." @sdswenson #COSP15

.@sdswenson explains that the only way to meet the goal of "Build disability-inclusive and participatory
societies in the #COVID context and beyond" is by ensuring people with disabilities have the support they need to participate meaningfully. #COSP15
