As the US government practices fascism and eugenics, we need a collective vision of liberation for the disability community. @disabilitypolicy.bsky.social is proud to co-sign this vision alongside @disabilitylab.bsky.social, disability-led organizations, leaders, and organizers nationwide.

New pub alert! In “Denied Relief: The Chronic Pain of Bathroom Bans,” Bo Belotti describes how bathroom ban policies he experienced as a trans high school student contributed to recurrent UTIs and chronic pain—and how those experiences led them to help write policies protecting trans students.

Christina shares, “It is urgent that those who are alarmed by the intergenerational cycle of disability-based separations advocate against the closure of the only center in the United States that regularly sheds light on disability’s role in family policy.”

Hassan writes, "Admission is not the same as inclusion. When a disabled person is admitted to a university, the admission letter does not replace the rights, accessibility, and inclusion they need to succeed. Accessibility is a right, not a privilege.”

We exist because of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and to build upon it. As many in the disability community say - it’s the floor, not the ceiling!💜
