OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG....
I got mentioned on President Barack Obama's Instagram. Total honor. too thrilling.
As we continue to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, I thought I would share the stories of three young activists leading the charge in the disability rights movement. Storm, Hari, and Noah are working in their communities––at their schools, places of work, neighborhoods––to advocate for a future that is more inclusive and accessible for all people.
Through storytelling, Storm uses her work as a producer to expand representation in the media. She wants to make sure that the stories of people in the Deaf community––one that she’s proud to be a part of––aren’t ignored. As a student studying Psychology at UC Berkeley, Hari educates his peers by sharing his experience as a minimally speaking autistic while teaching a semester-long class on autism. While working as a coordinator for Chicago Adapt, Noah founded an organization to advocate for disability rights for international, first-generation, and immigrant students with disabilities.
Change happens from the ground up––and these three are leading the way in their communities.
