Trying to collect info in one place for folks. Things are moving quickly. The multiply marginalized will be disparately impacted, especially BlPOC, immigrant, and/or queer disabled folks. Here's the round up from week 1.

Week one disability rights watch. What happened?

Removal of the accessibility page and all content in ASL from the White House website. The administration sets the tone for what it does and does not value on its official website.

Executive Order "ending radical and wasteful government DEI programs and spending". this seeks to terminate all DEI related programs and work within the federal government in the text DEI is sometimes written to include accessibility as DEIA

Executive Order "Ending illegal discrimination and Restoring Merit based Order". Expands the reach of Anti-DEIA tasks including investigating private sector businesses that have any DEI or accessibility initiatives

Preventive healthcare is the foundation of a healthier, more equitable society. This Supreme Court case could unravel decades of progress by allowing insurers to deny coverage for essential services. The well-being of millions is at stake. #HealthEquity #HealthJustice

Has your professional society spoken out? Time for all medical, public health and scientific organizations to speak up. Silence buys you nothing and it tells power what it can do, what it can get away with. We need to act fast.

Disabled and senior people constitute the highest number of deaths in climate disasters like wildfires and flooding due to poor planning and lack of investment by the govt. Something I wrote about wildfires in Northern CA: sf.curbed.com/2018/11/13/1... #LAFires #LAFirestorm2025

In California wildfires, disabled people may be left behind

I read a post earlier from a doctor who was explaining how they saved a life by truly listening to their patient. The problem? They listened because the patient was a young, fit, cishet white man. They described him as “strong”, a father & employed … so they took him more seriously. 🧵

1. A teacher in Ohio who has worked at the same public school for 34 years was suspended without pay and threatened with termination for offering four books in her classroom library that contained LGBTQ characters. She's fighting back.

Witnessed a fight where a disabled person asked folks to stop saying "special needs". Parents of disabled kids screamed it's a better word then disabled. A good reminder that abled parents of disabled children can do a lot of harm by assuming they know just as much about disability as the disabled.

Photograph of a group of six people. They are in an empty office. Three young people are sitting on a white table: on the left a dark-haired girl with glasses, one eye covered by a bandage, wearing a flowered shirt, waving with one hand; in the middle a young girl in a white sweatshirt, waving with both hands; on the right a young boy, with red glasses and a black sweatshirt, smiles and gives his thumbs up. In front of them, on the left, there is an adult woman sitting on a black chair, with a blue ribbon in her hair, the same colour as the scarf she is wearing, dressed in grey sportswear, making the sign of the heart; on the right a boy in a wheelchair. A dark-haired boy with glasses, wearing a green jumper, looks at the camera. On the floor, a young boy, dark-haired with glasses, with Down syndrome, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, gives his thumbs up.

I switched from French lit to Health and Medical Humanities, but it wasn’t really sudden. I was preparing in the background, doing coursework, researching, reading, reading, reading, attending conferences, etc. The shift has been very positive and well supported. I feel extremely fortunate.
