I am right there! When I pushed back against the local housing authority I was threatened with a bogus threat of eviction which for those like me, is a death sentence!!

One thing that isn’t talked about enough is how closely tied disability can be to homelessness. Many disabled people are forced into poverty in order to keep their medical benefits. By doing so, the income they receive isn’t enough to live off of. This isn’t a moral failing, it’s the system’s fault.

Hey!
Life as a disabled person is never glamerous and trying. Fierce resilience is needed to take a stand against the inequality of society.
I struggle to remember this myself sometimes but ability is stronger than disABILITY

This is an excellent demonstration of access issues on the NYC subway, created by Brad Lander, who's running for NYC Mayor.

This is the guy who just faced assault and arrest from ICE because he was doing what city officials are supposed to: escorting immigrants to and from court hearings
