The Power of the Disability Vote

Our Doodling for Democracy cast comes from the real world of disability and our allies - from local people in Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland with disabilities, parents and community organizers - to innovative educational programs and leaders of national disability organizations. They share their first hand stories of what makes the disability community beloved and powerful.
