government and disability update

What this episode covers

This week Bekah and Justin discuss three very important and potentially troubling developments for the disability community. Put forward by the US government. Number one a new justice department memo regarding a key underlying principle of disability civil rights. Number two they move of the office charged with enforcing disability accommodations for disabled students from the Department of education to the department of justice and number three the rollout of new work requirements for those receiving Medicaid programs. All of these different actions will have dramatic consequences for the millions of Americans living with disabilities. Justin and Bekah discuss what those consequences are, what could be coming and what we can do about it.
