 In this powerful episode, host Kim Wardlow speaks with Julie Reiskin from the Colorado Cross Disability Coalition to explore the practical steps and critical importance of state and local advocacy. Julie shares her personal journey into disability rights after being diagnosed with MS, and the impact of healthcare inequities that led her to become a lifelong advocate. The conversation dives into understanding systems advocacy, how policies and laws differ, and how listeners can take tangible steps toward influencing change—whether it's by testifying at a city council meeting or signing onto a petition. Julie emphasizes the power of working collectively and offers tips for getting involved, including using accessible bill trackers, attending trainings, and joining trusted organizations like CCDC or NFB. Whether you're new to advocacy or looking to deepen your involvement, this episode provides a clear path toward making your voice heard.
