Thank you, for your continued commitment to full inclusion an equal opportunities for people with disabilities.

Absolutely shameful. States must urgently address the accessibility of their unemployment websites to ensure people with disabilities are able to access the resources they are entitled to during this crisis.

During Disability Employment Month, we must reaffirm our commitment to eliminating barriers and expanding economic opportunity and security for people with disabilities. medium.com/@KamalaHarris/kam…

Inaccessibility and discrimination in health care, housing, education, technology, and transportation can all adversely affect the lives of people with disabilities — and we’re not talking about it nearly enough on the national stage. We can change that.

This plan really gets to the heart of what we need to be fully included. Thank you for recognizing the power and potential of the 61 million Americans with disabilities in this presidential campaign.

My plan for Americans with disabilities will:
→Ensure housing and transit projects that receive federal funding are fully accessible
→Eliminate the “subminimum” wage
→Ratify U.S. participation in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

As the Trump Administration continues to abandon programs and rules that serve the more than 60 million Americans living with disabilities, I’m prepared to strengthen and expand economic opportunity.

Twenty-nine years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. We still have a lot of work to do to ensure that every American lives in a fully inclusive and accessible society.

Thank you, Lalla! Your support and inclusion means so very much to all Americans with disabilities and we will show up for you, support you, and do our best to bring you to the White House as our next president!

When it comes to health care, we can’t leave anybody behind — including the 130 million Americans with pre-existing conditions and 61 million Americans with disabilities. That’s why I support #MedicareForAll.

When the Supreme Court ruled on Olmstead v. L.C., they declared all Americans with disabilities deserve full inclusion in every community. Twenty years later, we still haven't made this a reality. As president, I will fight to do so. rewire.news/article/2019/06/…

Proud to support, Lalla, who stands strong for people with disabilities in this nation.

Last week, the Trump Administration sought to repeal the Affordable Care Act, threatening Americans with disabilities. This is unacceptable. As president, I'll ensure all Americans receive the critical health care they need to live and thrive.

Inclusive Kamala demonstrates her respect for the power and potential of Americans with Disabilities.

Women, people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ Americans are often underrepresented in STEM jobs. Fixing the problem starts with investing in our classrooms. That is why I’ve introduced a bill to build a pipeline of diverse talent for these good-paying jobs.

May is #MentalHealthMonth. We are facing a mental health crisis in our nation, yet too many Americans aren't receiving the treatment they need due to lack of access or stigma. Mental health is just as important as physical health. It’s on us to change the narrative.

Thank you Kamala for helping to protect the rights of 61 million Americans with disabilities.

Trump just boasted about gutting the Affordable Care Act and promised, "Now we're going for the rest."
We can't let that happen.
We must stop this President so that millions of Americans don't lose their insurance and protections for their pre-existing conditions.

When mocking a disabled reporter, @realdonaldtrump set tone of #discrimination against #PwDs. His treatment of Tricia Newbold shows pattern & support of anti-disability bullying. He’s destroying the #ADA & cannot be trusted to protect our civil rights. us12.campaign-archive.com/?e…

“We reject in the strongest terms the offensive suggestion by supporters of H.R. 620 that a civil rights violation denying access to a public space could ever be ‘minor.’” #HandsOffMyADA #inclusion prospect.org/blog/tapped/sen…

Thank you @SenSchumer and @SenDuckworth for leading the fight against H.R. 620. This bill would undoubtedly harm the civil rights of Americans with Disabilities. Please read carefully @SenMajLdr bit.ly/2E6owra
