The New York Legislature has chosen not to pass #physicianassistedsuicide. We are grateful to the members of the Legislature that have listened to the concerns of #Disabled activists and taken a stance against #assistedsuicide. #suicideprevention #disabilityrights

#CDRNYS President & CEO speaks to MISCC: "It is fitting that #Juneteenth and the #Olmstead decision anniversary are so close to each other because the lives of #Black, #Brown, and #Disabled people – and our #oppression – are intrinsically tied together." bit.ly/3KMX5Yt

Nobody should be penalized for getting married, she said. But if these disabled people marry, they risk losing their income and, sometimes, the medical care that keeps them healthy, even alive. The digital version of my story on SSI's marriage penalty npr.org/2024/06/18/g-s…

By exceeding my life expectancy, I’ve become a model for other Black disabled women, writes Vilissa Thompson in a new op-ed. Getting older is considered a privilege for disabled people, who must also navigate grief and loss more often than others. prismreports.org/2024/07/09/exc…

🚨 My latest article 🚨 I’ve now lived exactly 30 years past the life expectancy I was given. And I wrote about what that means as a #disabled Black woman where death, grief, & loss are prevalent in our community. To get old as a disabled person is a true privilege.

From our #protest Monday: #Disability activists sing the song "Rich Man's House" outside of Governor Kathy Hochul's mansion. Lyrics: "Well I, went down to the governor's house and I took back what they stole from me, took back my dignity, took back my humanity." #DisabilityPrideMonth

So here we are again, Chuck Schumer. Every year your office runs a diversity survey of Senate Democratic offices and every year you FAIL to include the very basic question of disability status. Your office needs to meet with the disability community, and soon. #CripTheVote

CDR is outraged at the Democratic Party's decision to have Governor Kathy Hochul speak on Monday night. Gov. Hochul has continuously doubled down on her attacks against the #DisabilityCommunity and refused to meet with #Disability community leaders. Read our statement: bit.ly/3yxbUff
