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 Please note we do not represent the entire disability community nor would we ever claim to do so. There are many ways to create social change and engaging in conversation is one approach.<\/span><\/p>\n Resources on voting and people with disabilities:<\/b><\/p>\n http:\/\/disabilitythinking.com\/election-2016-cripthevote<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n #CripTheVote Facebook Page:<\/b><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CripTheVote\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n A note on language and why we use the term \u2018crip\u2019<\/b><\/p>\nHow to Participate<\/b><\/h3>\n
