Episode Notes

In Episode 217, I got the honour of sitting down with an icon & pioneer in the Disability Rights Movement, Judy Heumann. She is an internationally known figure in the disability community; she has written books, been featured in award winning documentaries (watch Crip Camp!) and has helped disability rights become what they are today. In our 45 minute chat we talk about growing up with polio, camp Jened, The history of the 504 sit in, her feelings on Joe Biden’s win in terms of disability rights and a whole lot more! This one is not to be missed!
