Warren holds Twitter town hall with disabled activists

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) on Tuesday held a Twitter town hall with disabled activists in the #CripTheVote hashtag, which was created in 2015 to discuss the intersection of policy and disability issues.

During the discussion, Warren confirmed her 2020 campaign includes disabled staffers, telling activist Alice Wong, the co-founder of the hashtag, “We have staff with disabilities across the campaign. Their lived experiences and talents help foster an inclusive and accessible campaign.”

“We also have a volunteer working group of leaders in the disability community who help us connect with the larger community. My campaign — and my administration — will always seek the input of the community as we govern,” she added.

The Massachusetts senator also addressed a question from Kyla Patterson, who chairs the Iowa Democratic Party Stonewall Caucus, about Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
