Disability Democracy

By: Steven Davis
  • Summary

  • The Disability Democracy Radio podcast aspires to help you accelerate the Disability Community Revolution by provoking, learning, investigating, and listening to the disability community. We want the disability community to move from being the Forgotten Fifth to the Formidable Fifth. Our focus is on practical answers to questions big and small (because they all matter) ranging from special education to jobs and healthcare. Pride. Respect. Opportunity. Inclusion. We must transform ourselves to change the politics and culture of disability. We need all of us to help all of us get there.
