Today is the 30 year anniversary of the ADA! In honor of that, let's take a moment to talk about advocacy.
Specifically, what it takes to be an advocate. Thread.
(1/?)
As some of you know, I am a disabled college student. It's rough. I've had to learn how to be bold. How to be loud. How to come forward and say: "This is wrong." How to stay in the forefront until someone answers with: "We will work with you to fix this." (2/?)
I don't get into politics on here, and I'm not about to start now. What I am going to do, however, is point out how current political conversations are feeding into the dehumanization of disabled people. (1/?)
This thread is not in support of Trump, Obama, or any political party. I do not, and will not, discuss my political affiliation here. These tweets will also not be weighing in on whether or not Trump is disabled. That is none of my business. (2/?)
