🏁♿ FROM NAVIGATING BARRIERS TO BREAKING THEM! 💜🏁
ALBUQUERQUE, WE HAVE SOME WORK TO DO!
I am incredibly HONORED to announce that I’ve been appointed by Mayor Tim Keller @mayorkeller and confirmed by the Albuquerque City Council @abqcitycouncil @oneabq to serve on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Advisory Council! 🎉
I was born and raised in Albuquerque. I became paralyzed here at 12 years old. And for nearly 28 years, I’ve traveled the country fighting for disability rights.
Now it’s time to bring that mission HOME! 💜
I’ve personally experienced the inaccessible sidewalks, inadequate accessible parking, barriers at businesses, and endless excuses throughout our city.
Here’s my question: We have health departments inspecting restaurants and fire departments enforcing safety codes. So WHY are people with disabilities so often left to fight for ADA compliance ourselves? The ADA never created an enforcement agency…people with disabilities are that agency! We shouldn’t have to sue establishments just to exercise our CIVIL RIGHTS!
“Accessibility should be built into the infrastructure, the fabric, and the HEART of Albuquerque. Every new building, every sidewalk, every business, every city development project should begin with accessibility in mind. Not as an afterthought. Not after someone files a complaint. FROM THE VERY FIRST BLUEPRINT!” 💥
Disability is a PUBLIC HEALTH issue, and anyone can become part of our community at ANY time!
And this isn’t just about ramps and parking spaces. It’s about ACCESS TO LIFE! 💜
People with disabilities deserve to work, explore, celebrate, chase their dreams, enjoy the ride, and reach their own CHECKERED FLAGS! 🏁
I want to help make that possible right here in the city I LOVE!
I’m honored to have a seat at the table, but even more excited to get to WORK!
NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US!
Albuquerque, the GREEN FLAG is waving! 🟢🏁
LET’S BUILD AN ACCESSIBLE ABQ! ♿💜🏁
Rock ON!!! 🏁💜🤘
