Response to "Disability Solidarity: Completing the 'Vision for Black Lives'"

After the release of "Disability Solidarity: Completing the 'Vision for Black Lives'" the Movement for Black Lives updated their vision statement to use the term disability instead of "differently-abled" and to include disability across four of the six policy statements. This new statement noted how Black disabled individuals are more likely to be profiled by the police, experience poverty, and are disproportionately impacted by racial violence in health care and voter disenfranchisement.
