[edit] Where do Progressives Stand?
As an introduction it is important to note that like other communities, this perspective is only valid for the disability rights community. Depending on what number you count, between 10-20% of Americans are disabled to some degree. Not all or even most of these individuals identify as part of the disability rights community. Those who do tend to have more significant levels of disability and tend to not be people who are newly disabled. People who identify as part of our community will tend to join cross-disability organizations and do not tend to join single disability organizations.
The disabilities movement in Wisconsin is advocating for increased accessibility for all disabled citizens, whether that entails basic access to buildings and services or increased access to and representation in the political process. Progressives should support funding for mental health care programs, special education, accessibility improvement projects, and campaign finance reform among other programs in order to advance the interests of the 10% or so of Wisconsin's citizens who are currently classified as disabled.
