News Room

The National Disability Rights Network is proud to present Accessing Democracy a documentary short that follows Monica Wiley, a Black woman with a spinal cord injury, as she travels the East Coast ahead of the 2024 generational election, interviewing voters with disabilities. Monica asks voters about the barriers they face, from accessing the everyday conveniences that able-bodied people take as a given to inability to receive the services they need to work and be a part of the community. This short explores how politicians have left behind one of the largest minority groups in the United States and what disabled voters want from their commander in chief.
