ALT Image of Bob Kafka speaking during a My Medicaid Matters rally along with text that says: The Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities mourns the loss of Bob Kafka, whose passing leaves a profound void in our community. Bob was more than an advocate for justice; he was a beacon of hope, dedicating his life to build and sustain a movement to advance access, inclusion, and dignity for millions of people with disabilities. His courage, direct action, and ability to mobilize our community elevated voices and led to policies that significantly improved lives across Texas and the nation. Bob's absence will be deeply felt by all of us at TCDD. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Stephanie, Bob's family, and his friends during this difficult time.
