Last week AAPD and 90+ partner orgs called on @CNN to make Thursday's presidential debate fully accessible and ask about key #DisabilityPolicy issues. CNN has failed to respond, ignoring 38+ million disabled voters. RT if you want @jaketapper and @DanaBashCNN to #CripTheDebate 🗳️
There are 38 million disabled voters in the US. They deserve access to information about the presidential election. We are calling on @CNN to make the presidential debate accessible & for @jaketapper & @DanaBashCNN to ask about disability #CripTheDebate aapd.com/dear-cnn-debate-tea…

LPA’s thoughts are with Jacob Blake and his family during these tragic times. We wholeheartedly reject the long-standing anti-Black racism that underlies these events and too many others. @LPANational

The ADA extends protections to state/local elections under Title II. ADA guidelines include accessibility of the voting area, the check-in and overall access to the ballots. People with dwarfism: #ThanksToTheADA #VOTE2020 usa.gov/register-to-vote

Little People would need to ask an average height person to operate the ATM for us - always too high to reach. Because of the ADA, ATM controls need to be within reach ranges, a height not exceeding 48 inches and no lower than 15 inches. #DwarfPride #ThanksToTheADA #Independence

Today is 7/1/2020 and LPA is commemorating 30th anniv. of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The LPA community is grateful for and uplifted by ADA protections. For example, people with dwarfism cannot be fired from their job because of their disability. #ThanksToTheADA

Not at all happy with the way @zacbrownband ended the concert at @fenwaypark tonight. Did you really have to have a person with dwarfism come out & pretend to be security and "wrestle" someone? As a person with dwarfism working at #Fenway, I thought it was tasteless & cliche
