Beat Disability-By Embracing It

Equity and Inclusivity
Sabeena Jalal
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beautyto its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget."- Arundhati Roy

Challenges in our state as well as best practices were analyzed in our issue brief and discussed by a panel of top state officials and nonprofit organization leaders implementing innovative and successful programs in our communities.  Speakers included: Secretary of Elder Affairs, Ann Hartstein, Anita Albright from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Robert Schreiber from Hebrew SeniorLife, and Rosa Palacios from Commonwealth Care Alliance."
