The following statement and subsequent article are written and produced by Jesse Schwartzman He is a tremendous disability advocate who formerly worked on Governor Philip Murphy’s reelection campaign in New Jersey I hope you all enjoy his fresh perspective.

Progress has been made but it is not enough. We are at least 15 percent of the population but do you see people with disabilities integrated into society?
It is time to uplift voices and bring our own seats to the table.
Look to your left and your right disability can be hidden and happen anytime.
The intersectionality is insane.
Be kind to everyone, especially yourself.
Do your best and improve at least 1 percent each and every day.
