CNN is keeping track of how much VP Harris and Trump speak during the debate, and we bet you can guess who has spoken the most (hint: it’s not VP Harris). Disabled Americans know what it's like to be talked over. #Disabled4Kamala www.cnn.com/2024/09/10/p...
Photos of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump on a white background, beside red bars showing that as of 10:42 p.m. ET, Trump had spoken for 40m 50s, while Harris had spoken for 35m 31s.

Thousands of disabled workers are paid less than minimum wage — and the Biden Harris administration is working to change it. Kamala committed to ending the subminimum wage in 2020. We hope to see that commitment renewed! #Disabled4Kamala #DemolishDisabledPoverty

Disability policy went largely undiscussed at the #DNC. We are committed to pushing the Harris/Walz administration to more publicly address the barriers the disabled community combats. #Disabled4Kamala
A blue graphic with white letters reads: "Disabled Folks for Kamala plans to work hard to ensure the Harris/Walz ticket is elected in November. We believe that their administration provides the best opportunity for the disability community to thrive now, not in some far off future. We are disappointed that there was no explicit mention of disability policies or disability community priorities during the Democratic National Convention last week. The disability community is a major part of the Democratic coalition and we deserve to be taken seriously. We are committed to working with the Harris/Walz team to ensure that when they're in the White House in 2025, the Harris/Walz Administration will address the policy priorities of our community." The Disabled Folks for Kamala Harris logo is at the bottom of the graphic.
