Political Quotes

“Disability Pride Month, commemorated in July, is a time to highlight the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles that the disability community has experienced. From battling for greater public accessibility to ensuring government officials recognize the specific needs of the community, disability advocates have often had to fight to obtain the representation they deserve. One of these great advocates is Mike Schweinsburg who has worked toward better and greater representation and inclusion in my district, New York-10 in New York City, for nearly two decades. Mike has advised mayors, agencies, elected officials, national politicians, and everyone in between on the disability community's pressing needs, working to ensure that New Yorkers with disabilities are never left without a voice. For two decades, Mike has been an integral part of the 504 Democratic Club, the Nation's first and largest club advocating for the civil rights of people with disabilities. I am truly honored and blessed to work alongside him to ensure that everyone in New York City and our country gets the proper representation they deserve. ____________________”
