Justice For All

The blog, Justice For All is sounding a call to arms for the disability community, saying this community is underrepresented within Obama’s transition team.

Disability organizations are calling for more inclusion, jobs for those with disabilities within the new administration, as well as a domestic policy adviser who has experience with disability issues.
Action Alert! Pressure the New Administration for Jobs for People with Disabilities

From the Justice For All Blog:

Yesterday a group of national consumer controlled disability organizations sent a letter to key players in the Obama administration to pressure them into living up to their promises to our community.

It is time to turn on the HEAT!

We want JOBS for people with disabilities in the new administration!

We want a domestic policy adviser IN THE WHITE HOUSE who is knowledgeable about and experienced in disability issues!

We want our voices heard and our opinions valued as appointments and decisions are made that will affect our lives!

Contact the members of the transition team and let them know that you expect the disability community’s input to be respected in the new administration.

We won’t get a chance like this for a long time. Don’t let it pass us by!
