このコンテンツについて
What happens when decisions that shape your life — your benefits, your support, your future — are made without your voice in the room?
In this powerful episode, Adam and Dr. Matt Ramsey explore the untapped potential of the disability community as a voting bloc and why civic participation matters more than ever. With over 60 million Americans living with disabilities — and millions more as family members, allies, and caregivers — this group has the numbers to shape elections, influence policy, and demand a more inclusive future.
But barriers remain — from inaccessible polling places to the overwhelming flood of misinformation. This episode digs into the roots of those challenges and offers real stories, historical context, and practical solutions for how individuals and communities can rise above them.
From the legacy of curb cutouts to the fight for marriage equality and self-determination, Adam and Matt remind us that advocacy is not a moment. It’s a movement.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your vote counts — or how to help others find their voice — this episode is your rallying cry.
Listen in and discover:
Why the disability vote could be a powerful force for change
The real impact of policy on daily life — from benefits to civil rights
How advocacy happens in big moments and everyday interactions
Why inclusion benefits everyone — not just some
