A graphic honoring Judith “Judy” Heumann for Jewish American Heritage Month. It features a black-and-white photo of Heumann speaking into a microphone, wearing glasses, a winter coat, and a "Sign 504" advocacy button. The background has an orange-to-green gradient with faint protest imagery. Text reads: "Judith 'Judy' Heumann (1947–2023)" and "Mother of the disability rights movement." The Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) logo is at the bottom.
This #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth we honor Judy Heumann—a trailblazer who made clear that the fight for disability rights is the fight for democracy. She showed that true freedom requires access and inclusion.
METAL, HEAVY by Micah D. Zevin is “an escape, an analysis and a blunt object to guide one through the end times whether the obstacles are political, personal or environmental.”
