Many Americans are totally unaware that critical systems people rely on—which run on (and funnel!) taxpayer dollars—are being smashed and grabbed. This article summarizes what's going on. Please share it with friends and family so they help demand action.

It was great to discuss the ways @UFDRC continues to serve students in the age of COVID-19. Technology definitely enhances access but may also introduce new barriers for students. If not designed with diverse embodiments in mind, online solutions can reproduce ableism. – at Gainesville, FL

Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.
It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.
Today is a good day.

Disabled People Forever:”Due to our disability, we may need the option to telecommute to school or work.”
Response:”No. Not possible.”
Everyone 2020:”Due to Coronavirus, we need to telecommute.”
Response:”Absolutely. You don’t even have to ask.”
The only thing that separates students with #disabilities from anybody else is #opportunity. Please consider giving to the @UFDRC. Any amount small or big, what matters is that we show how many people support what we do.
