I want to highlight a couple interviews that didn't make it into the article for space reasons. @Anniek121, who is a PhD candidate focusing on disability studies and has cerebral palsy, emphasized Warren's statement that all policy issues are disability issues. 1/

"Seeing someone recognize those points of contact between different marginalized categories was phenomenal," she said. "This is somebody who’s seeing the full picture and isn’t just seeing this as a minority category that you need to speak to." 2/

.@SFdirewolf, who was part of Warren's working group but hasn't endorsed any candidate, mentioned the part of the plan that focuses on the unique dangers for people with disabilities in natural disasters — like the California wildfires, when PG&E shut off electricity. 3/

"As a disabled Californian reliant on power for breathing and essential life functions, I know firsthand that energy infrastructure and response to natural disasters are going to be major issues that will only escalate in this climate crisis," she said.
