Support Disabled People; Prevent War
The stories of people with disabilities are often lost in the midst of armed conflicts, seen as just another tragedy amid the horrors of war. But a new paper by Human Rights Watch shows a pattern of harm and offers specific recommendations to mitigate the suffering.
Today, we talk about war and other current issues with our listeners. If you live with a disability or are part of our disability community as a family member, care-giver or friend, call us at 1-800-958-9008.
Should the prevention of war be a top priority for the disability justice and rights movement?
What do you think about the controversy over a wheelchair accessible path to the Greek Acropolis?
Will housing desperation cause us to accept segregated housing developments?
And, how about that Sacramento rally on Tuesday for Single Payer Health care in California!
Eddie Ytuarte and Adrienne Lauby will be taking your calls.
They produced and host this program with thanks to Ann Garrison and Disability Scoop for research support.
