#CripTheVote: Our Voices, Our Vote<\/b><\/h3>\n

Americans with Disabilities and Political Participation<\/b><\/h3>\n

Republican Debate<\/strong><\/h3>\n

February 13, 2016<\/strong><\/h3>\n

8 pm Eastern\/ 5 pm Pacific<\/strong><\/h3>\n

#CripTheVote<\/span><\/a> is a nonpartisan campaign to engage both voters and politicians in a productive discussion about disability issues in the United States with the hope that disability takes on greater prominence within the American political landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n

While #CripTheVote is a nonpartisan project, we understand that many people have already developed preferences for particular candidates. This is great–we only ask that everyone is respectful in their interactions with each other. Our primary focus here is on increasing engagement with disability issues as a part of American politics and on the need for that we are all in agreement!<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Participate<\/b><\/h4>\n
