Disability Rights Experts & Activists - Trump DOJ Olmstead Memo
π£ Journo request: disability rights policy experts, historians, and activists needed!
I am writing a feature on the Trump DOJ's recent memo, in which they implied they will no longer be enforcing the critical disability rights for patients afforded to them by law through the Olmstead decision.
In short, this memo signals that the Trump Regime wants to reinvigorate the practice of segregating and institutionalizing disabled people.
I would like to speak to people with the following expertise to discuss the disability justice history surrounding and the potential impact of this decision:
1. Disability rights/justice researchers, teachers, or historians
2. Disability justice activists
3. Disability rights legal experts
If that's you, feel free to connect with me here or email me directly. This article is due July 31st, thanks!
