Too many people with disabilities don't have jobs or are stuck in unstable jobs. Many jobs do not treat people with disabilities fairly.

When a disabled person applies for a job, they may face:

Complicated applications.
Risk of losing benefits like Medicaid.
Ableist tests that don’t measure job skills.

Once a disabled person gets a job, they often deal with:

Lack of support.
Ableism from coworkers, clients, or customers.
Being overlooked for promotions or special training.

We must make workplaces more accessible for people with disabilities.

♿️ Being disabled should never mean being forced into poverty.

🏡 When a system reduces disabled people’s benefits for earning a little money while billionaires use tax loopholes to protect their wealth, its priorities are broken.

Disabled people deserve the freedom to work, save for emergencies, and marry the person they love without putting their financial stability at risk.

Raise SSI above the poverty line. End marriage penalties. End savings penalties. Reform rules that punish people for working toward stability.

Poverty should never be the price of receiving disability support. Independence should be encouraged. Love should be celebrated. Saving for tomorrow should be possible.

Disability rights include economic dignity. It’s time our policies reflected that.
