Did you know that disabled people make up one of the U.S. largest minority groups -- 26% of the population, 1 in 4 adults -- but are some of the least represented characters on the screen?
On the rare occasion that disability is portrayed, characters are often seen as less- than, lacking, and exploited as objects of pity, which further marginalizes disabled people.
In conjunction with @DREDF@GDIGM and @Storyline_ we put together a factsheet about the disabled community -- including more stories we want to see on the screen. These are at a glance fast facts that should serve as the first step in a deep dive for authentic representation.
