The Supplemental Security Income program (SSI) was signed into law by President Nixon in 1972 to ensure disabled and older Americans wouldn’t live in poverty. But today, it’s “trapping people in a place where dignity is out of reach.” #SSIat50 #DemolishDisabledPoverty (1/🧵)
30+ years after the ADA, many people w/ disabilities still live in poverty, and people of color are disproportionately impacted. It’s long past time for change—all disabled people should have access to inclusive employment opportunities & supports like SSI. #NDEAM (29/🧵)
In 2022 in the US, it’s legal to pay disabled workers a subminimum wage. While many states have taken action to ban subminimum wages—more work has to be done to eliminate them across the country. #NDEAM tcf.org/content/commen… (28/🧵)
