THREAD: @BernieSanders #disability plan is A-FREAKING-MAZING. I appreciated Warren's, but this one REALLY recognizes that #DisabilityRights are #CivilRights, & that #DisabilityJustice is intersectional.
Just some of what Bernie's plan would do: 1/https://berniesanders.com/issues/fighting-for-disability-rights/?fbclid=IwAR1vRbYp5Az8ngWRg2NxAWaIdZaRSkF_iAM9ys8ad3V_6Ck-rTy_VDraLTA …

Bernie's plan would "provide grants to incentivize states to take up supported decision making as an alternative to conservatorship and guardianship." This is HUGE, given recent disturbing policy trends to amp up conservatorship in CA and elsewhere. 9/https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2019/10/03/san-francisco-implements-new-mental-health-conservatorship-law/ …

Bernie would "aggressively enforce the
#Olmstead decision, including for people with#mentalillness. As President, Sanders will work to enforce the Supreme Court’s landmark Olmstead decision protecting the rights of people with disabilities to get support in the community. 10/Prikaži ovu nit -
Bernie's plan to end
#homelessness is STRONG: "Stop the criminalization of homelessness and spend nearly $32 billion over the next five years to end homelessness. This includes doubling McKinney-Vento homelessness assistance grants to build permanent supportive housing..." 11/Prikaži ovu nit -
"...And $500 million to provide outreach to homeless people to help connect them to available services. In the first year of this plan, 25,000 of the Housing Trust Fund units will be prioritized for housing the homeless." Bernie understands that
#HousingForAll is needed. 12/Prikaži ovu nit -
There is so much more to
#PresidentSanders' disability plan, but these are just some of the highlights that jumped out at me. Bernie rightly centers#PWD but if you are a family member or a home care worker, Bernie will fight for your rights, too.#CripTheVote#MedicareForAll 13/Prikaži ovu nit
