The election is right around the corner.
What role will people with disabilities play in the national contest, both as voters and as candidates?
Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman has faced a barrage of attacks on his competency after having a stroke in May. Many other potential disabled candidates are simply passed over by their respective parties. And disabled voters face vote suppression similar to that of people of color.
Join us as host Mark Romoser discusses all this and more with Lilian Aluri, civic engagement coordinator for the American Association of People with Disabilities and Maria Town.
Maria Town is the president and CEO at the American Association of People with Disabilities. Before that, she was the key disability person in the Houston mayor’s office. And she learned a thing or two about voter suppression as a student at Emory University outside Atlanta, Georgia.
