Tomorrow, National Disability Institute (NDI) will travel
to Capitol Hill to call for a more coordinated effort by the public and private
sectors to work together to cut the disability poverty rate in half for the 22
million working-age adults with disabilities in this country by 2025 – the 35th
Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
We are honored to be joined in this journey by Members of
Congress and their staff, thought leaders in the disability, asset development
and poverty reduction communities, self-advocates, and our new friends, New
York City hip-hop duo Namel “Tapwaterz” Norris and Ricardo “Rickfire” Velasquez
of 4WheelCity.
