We're all anti-ableism until we have to make ourselves uncomfortable to accommodate those who are not able-bodied. We're so not used to making adjustments. It is the environment, but it's also us as communities. Creativity to come up with inclusive strategies should also be our political agenda.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
