On March 4, disability rights activist Judith Heumann passed away. A leader in the disability community, she dedicated her life to creating equity for people with disabilities. She was a mentor, a leader, and, most importantly, a friend.

We are saddened by the loss of disability activist, advocate & artist Lois Curtis passed away earlier this month after a battle with cancer. Her landmark civil rights case L.C. v. Olmstead, gave disabled & elderly people the right to seek long-term care services in their homes.
