“The governor is saying, ‘No, I’m going to do this because this is what I want,’” she said, noting that elected lawmakers declined to loosen the state’s vaccination requirements. “[Morrisey] is not representing the people of West Virginia.” #DISruptors #Vaccines

I would encourage people to attend if they can! More than ever, we need cross struggle solidarity.

In 5th grade, I gave my first presentation on narcolepsy out of fear and desperation in an attempt to be understood by my current classmates and future teachers. #SleepSky #Narcolepsy #Disability #Advocacy

“Abolishing the office would remove centralized oversight for civil rights protections, said Sarah Harris, a spokesperson for DISrupt West Virginia, a disability rights organization.” #DisabilityJustice

If you’re participating in any one of the mass protests happening across the US today… Thank you for rising up & fighting back. Make sure you’re including disabled comrades. Wear masks, make events accessible, provide bathrooms & transportation. Don’t leave us behind. #HandsOff #TeslaTakedown

You are not broken. You are not a burden. You are powerful. #DisabilityJustice #AffirmDisabledLives #RestIsResistance #DISruptWV #DISrupt #SoftAndRadical #DisabilityPride

Age will also disable many of us. So will illness and/or injuries. Centering disability justice takes care of all of us.

Disability is one of the few minority groups you can join at any time. People believe they will be the exception & have trouble accepting they’re likely to become disabled at some point in their lives. Work on internalized ableism. Engage in disability justice. It will benefit you in the long run

U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Wednesday the department will shift its research into autism toward potential environmental causes, reports @jennifershutt.bsky.social.

See you there. #DISruptors

Disability justice, environmental justice, climate justice, worker justice, and the fight against fascism are one fight. Our lives and deaths mean nothing to billionaires -- so we better fight like hell for one another.

“At the heart of Charting My Path was one of the most promising, research-based services: building students' self-determination skills by working with them to set goals, then helping create concrete plans to achieve them.”

Following Mountain State Spotlight reporting on Meals on Wheels waitlists in West Virginia, a new state official said the issue sprung to the top of her list of job duties. But federal cuts could make solving the problem harder.

RFL Jr. did NOT remove gender dysphoria from #Section504. He simply pointed out a loophole that we knew existed. Don’t panic. Get precise. #DisabilityJustice includes trans people. Period. #50for504

🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest. Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.

#DISruptWV is a grassroots advocacy group. It operates as a state cohort of the national DISrupt Coalition, focusing on amplifying the voices of disabled individuals and promoting systemic change in West Virginia. #DISruptors
