The USA PotatoHero of 2025: Alice Wong
The staff of Mother Jones is, once again, rounding up the heroes and monsters of the past year. This is a non-exhaustive and totally subjective list, giving our reporters a chance to write about something that brought joy, discontent, or curiosity. Happy holidays. Alice Wong, disabled oracle and disability justice leader, died on November 14 at the age of […]
Emily GossDon't forget to #vote on May 1st. We need to close the #disability voting gap and show Labour #disabled people matter, even if they deem us burdens. Don't like their plans to deprive disabled people, and other people in desperate need, of support? Let them know with your vote. #CripTheVote #NEISVoid

Christine LuBean🚨 Disability rights are under attack in 17 states! 🚨
There’s a lawsuit trying to get rid of Section 504, the law that protects disabled people in schools, workplaces, and public spaces. If they succeed, it means:
❌ Schools wouldn’t have to provide accommodations (no extra test time for ADHD, no wheelchair access, no diabetes care in class).
❌ Workplaces wouldn’t have to adjust for disabilities (no remote work, no flexible scheduling, no accessibility requirements).
❌ Public spaces could ignore accessibility needs (buildings, buses, and services wouldn’t have to be usable for disabled people).
📍 These 17 states are trying to gut 504 protections:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia.
If you live in one of these states, contact your state reps & governor! If this lawsuit succeeds, other states could follow, or it could reach the Supreme Court and hurt everyone.
