#JudyHeumann, one of our founding Board members, used this bridge for decades. DC’s Connecticut Ave Bridge was renamed Judith E. Heumann Memorial Bridge to honor her incredible commitment to #DisabilityRights. Sharing as we remember her on the 3-year anniversary of her passing 💙

“Why do we see disability different from any other aspect of being human?”

It is a powerful question Judy Heumann asked to provoke thought and spark change.

Disability is part of the human experience.

It always has been. It always will be.

The US right is coming for disabled people. Here’s why that threatens everyone Trump’s administration is dismantling disability rights and education. History has shown this can be a warning sign for all civil liberties

What would our beloved #JudyHeumann and what will her #ADA #DisabilityJustice fighters say?

Collage honoring disability rights activist Judy Heumann. Center photo shows Judy smiling in a wheelchair, surrounded by black-and-white protest images, a 504 Sit-In flyer, and a yellow "SIGN 504" sticker. Text reads: “Strength in Access, Power in Advocacy.”

Judy Heumann helped lead the 504 Sit-Ins, championed the ADA, and sparked a global movement for disability rights. Her life’s work proved: Access is power, and advocacy changes everything. #JudyHeumann #DisabilityRights #504SitIn #DisabilityJustice #PowerInAdvocacy

[ID: A disibility pride flag background with an image from the San Francisco Section 504 sit-in with text that reads, "As we reflect on the 1977 Section 504 sit-ins, it is important for us to remember the support disabled protesters received from organizations such as the Black Panther Party, Delaney Street, The Gay Men's Butterfly Brigade, the United Farm Workers, the Gray Panthers, the Salvation Army, and more. Without their support, the San Francisco Section 504 sit-in would have likely failed. For each of their contributions, we are eternally grateful. 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.’ -Martin Luther King Jr."]

The nearly month-long San Francisco Section 504 sit-in began on April 5, 1977, as protesters around the US demanded that the federal government enforce Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act.

May we never forget the change we can create together.

What a lovely soul that so many people miss. She departed from this side on March 4 - I believe she would have wanted us to March FOURward -

We miss you @theheumannperspective Judith Heumann !

On this day, two years ago, the world lost a true champion of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Judy Heumann, a trailblazer for civil and human rights, is sorely missed by the resistance and those who loved her. #judyheumann

Demand #504andIDEA are protected. Court case and EO are making them 🎯

In honor of those who fought for us! #bradlomax #judyheumann #edroberts

It’s been two years since one of our founding Board members, #JudyHeumann, left us. To honor her legacy, you can help save the disability rights law that she helped get passed. Our partner, DREDF, created a resource to stop the attack on #Section504. lnk.to/tvbart

17 red states are suing to end federal disability protections. Here’s how you can support Section 504 GOP attorneys general want to undo more than 50 years of legal rights because a portion of disability law was expanded to cover gender dysphoria.

“I want to see a feisty group of #disabled people. I mean a group of people who will not accept no without asking why.” - #JudyHeumann ♿️

I just learned my mom was a counselor at Camp Jened at around the same time #judyheumann was a camper.

Around the corner is what would have been Judy Heumann's 77th birthday. 💙 In her memory, we revisit The Judith Campaign. This film campaign honors Judy's teachings on the value of creating space for #disabled people to share their stories with the world: lnk.to/judithc. #JudyHeumann
