Alice Wong is a writer and disability rights activist who uplifts the work of disabled people and advocates for accessibility as an act of love. Alice Wong's tremendous impact in disability justice work cannot be overemphasized. Thank you, Alice, and happy #DisabilityPrideMonth!
A purple quote graphic says “To me, disability is not a monolith, nor is it a clear-cut binary of disabled and nondisabled. Disability is mutable and ever-evolving. Disability is both apparent and nonapparent. Disability is pain, struggle, brilliance, abundance, and joy.” Above says “Alice Wong, founder of the Disability Visibility Project” with a photo of Alice, a disabled woman in a power chair with a ventilator.

I've had a front row seat to how challenging (to put it mildly) and often outright hostile the healthcare system is to adults with developmental disabilities. I'm so grateful that RWJF is able to partner with the WITH Foundation on such a meaningful funding opportunity.

The lack of diversity in medicine adds to the inaccessibility around getting care, and while there is work being done to change that with programs like this, it's only the start. There's more work and more research into these programs' outcomes to be done. kffhealthnews.org/news/artic…
