As the 2016 election cycle intensifies and candidates appeal to minority voters, one group is being left out. Candidates make frequent pleas to women and persons of color for their support, but they rarely mention what happens to be the country's largest minority: people with disabilities.
Three disability activists are working to change the narrative and bring greater visibility to the disability community's interests and voting power. #CriptheVote, a campaign launched by disability activists Alice Wong, Andrew Pulrang, and Gregg Beratan, intends to "engage both voters and politicians in a productive discussion about disability issues in the United States." These three energized activists took the time to talk with me about the mission of #CripTheVote.
