On Tuesday, August 19, we hosted a visit from Kareem Dale, the National Disability Vote Director for the Obama Campaign.  Mr. Dale is a Chicago area lawyer who happens to have a visual impairment.  He is now working full time for the Obama campaign and will be in Denver at the end of August for the Democratic National Convention.

Mr. Dale came to our August monthly meeting and the group discussed topics from health care access to housing.  We discussed the needs of women with disabilities and we look forward to seeing the issues of womyn with disabilities being included in the Obama campaign’s platform.  We definitely plan to continue to provide feedback on women’s disability rights to Mr. Dale to ensure that the Democratic Party candidate plans to take action for change on our issues.
