California will be voting in a presidential primary on Tuesday, March 3rd and for the first time most of the candidates have released policy statements specific to the disability community. Candidates are talking about every aspect of life with a disability – education, employment, housing, healthcare, transportation, voting rights, social security reform and improvement, in home support, mental health, disaster preparedness, police interaction, criminal justice, engaging in disability policy on the global stage, and more – this is a major shift from previous elections. This shift indicates that people with disabilities are finally being recognized for the contributions we make and the challenges we face in America.
This links roundup includes the candidates’ disability specific policy plans (when available) as well as their broader policy plans. Please read them, discuss them with your friends and family, and vote on March 3rd!
