Being disabled is expensive.💸 The additional costs that make life more accessible add up. As someone with cerebral palsy, I need adapted shoes of different sizes to fit my leg brace. I need Ubers since I can't drive and can't always walk the distance, and more. #VoicesofDEJ

As a person with #EhlersDanlosSyndrome & co., I currently pay $1k+ a month for specialty care & off-label meds. It's extremely difficult to find specialists who take insurance & to make matters harder, insurance often doesn't cover necessary care. #VoicesofDEJ #HealthCare4All

I pay out of pocket for transportation as a blind person and parent. Even have to pay for public school bus. And don't live in transit-friendly part of US. #VoicesofDEJ

A few weeks ago The Century Foundation shared my grief as a Black woman who lost my career as a result of #LongCovid. Orgs who welcome diverse disability experiences without question are extremely important as we honor #DisabiltyTwitter. tcf.org/content/commen…

I would have to rest for several hours to give a comprehensive answer to this question. You can read more in #CripTax and #HiddenCostsOfDisabillity. But I’ll add a few of mine below. #VoicesofDEJ

Hi #DisabilityTwitter, looking for 2 #ASL #ASLInterpreters for an in-person event in DC this Tues, April 18 in the afternoon, and I've exhausted my list. Any great interpreters you'd suggest?

“You need to have resources in order to relax. If I’m constantly worried about having enough SSI to keep my lights on, then I have no time for leisure.” Disability advocate Keith Jones (Keith Jones) joins @RebeccaVallas on this week’s Off-Kilter Podcast. → bit.ly/43Ooamp

I toured Emory when looking for colleges; didn't end up going because I knew the feeling of having to degrade yourself for access emorywheel.com/students-cite-… #College #accessibility #ableism #DemeaningDisabilityInEducation #WePayTuitionToo

Airlines take note, what Delta is doing is what real leadership looks like and they will reap the rewards. The disability community spends over $58B on travel annually. I know what airline I'll be flying with when these prototypes hit production. #RightsOnFlights

Please share with those who may be interested! #RightsOnFlights #JustPlaneWrong #Disability #Airlines #Accessibility

Final Deadline!!! Make your voices heard, so we can get your travel needs met
