Ableism Separated Disabled People from Autonomy: Kelly Buckland and Vilissa Thompson
Channel: Laura Flanders & Friends
Date: 2018-09-08

Kelly Buckland, Executive Director of the National Council on Independent Living and Vilissa Thompson, founder of Ramp Your Voice! join us in DC to discuss the movement for independent living.

Celebrating ​#ADA28 alongside disability activists​ allows us to revisit the story of how disability came to be a civil right, even as it was pathologized and co-opted into ableist narratives. How can we make this not a conversation about ability, but accessibility, one that is intersectional and empowering?
