On this July, #DisabilityPrideMonth I am proud to share my reflections on the 35th anniversary of the #ADA in Craig’s Chicago Business www.chicagobusiness.com/elevate/disa...

Happening now at Access Living: town hall with the disability community and our 3 transit agencies - CTA, Metra, PACE and RTA discussing the looming fiscal cliff and how we can advocate to save our public transit systems.

IL Gov. JB Pritzker and many of the IL delegation Friday, sharing what the cuts to Medicaid will mean for children, people with disabilities, seniors, hospitals, jobs and our economy & healthcare system. Devastation, pure and simple. Call your members of Congress to stop this. There’s still time.

Spent the day at the Obama Democracy Forum examining pluralism and how we can work to strengthen democracy to create change across the globe. Heard from President Obama about root causes of our political divide and strategies for moving issues forward - while still holding tight to our values.
