28: Disability Civic Engagement

In this episode, we talk with Sandy Ho, a disability activist, policy researcher at the Lurie Institute for Disability Policy at Brandeis University, and co-founder of Disability and Intersectionality Summit. Sandy shares details from the report, Civic Engagement and People with Disabilities, which she co-authored. She discusses how ableist attitudes and physical barriers can prevent civic engagement for the disability community. Sandy highlights the importance of cross-movement collaboration and ensuring the disability community is included in all policies and not just "disability issues".
