PBS NewsHour (6/10, Quinton) carries a segment on Americans with disabilities and how their lifestyles have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
Specifically, advocates are “sounding the alarm that Congress needs to do more to help society’s most vulnerable” members. Host Judy Woodruff spoke with former Pennsylvania governor and chairman of the National Organization on Disability Tom Ridge as well as disability rights activist and actor Danny Woodburn on how the needs of people with disabilities can be better addressed.
The interview covered topics including how people with disabilities are uniquely at risk during the pandemic; the complicated messaging from various advocacy groups; and how American institutions should seek to be more.
