Washington, Sept. 17 – The RespectAbility Report and RespectAbility USA, along with a growing list of nonprofit disability partner organizations (listed below), will host Online Presidential Candidate Town Halls on People with Disabilities, Jobs, and the American Dream.
These town halls will be national, nonpartisan events that will connect the disability community with the presidential candidates. These online events will provide candidates with the opportunity to articulate their policy positions on the critical issues affecting Americans with disabilities and to describe their vision for ensuring that more people with disabilities can pursue the American Dream, just like anyone else.
We will be hosting these online town halls throughout the fall depending on each candidate’s availability. Every candidate will have his or her own individual session. Thus, they will have ample time to address questions.
By hosting these online town halls before the first caucus, we hope to raise the profile of the critical issues of employment, education, reducing stigmas, community integration, independent living and other key areas. We expect to have thousands of people from around the country participate in these online town halls and to carry our message forward to Election Day.
The sponsorship fees cover ALL of the Town Halls, so the price is inclusive of these events from all of the candidates who chose to address the disability community. This will give the candidates time to reflect fully and thoughtfully to the one-in-five Americans who have a disability, plus their loved ones.
Imagine the impact that we as a community can have by engaging with candidates who are vying for their party’s nomination. By making our voices heard, we hope to educate both the Democrats and the Republicans on issues important to those of us with disabilities. Your financial support can help make this vision a reality.
We know you share our vision of an America where all people, including people with disabilities, have equal access to the American Dream, and hope you will join us in this important effort. Thank you for your consideration.
