Introducing Stepping Up for Disabled Kids: A New Movement for Political Advocacy and Change
A grassroots movement focused on legislative action to tackle the systemic challenges impacting disabled children and their families.
“Too often, our kids are caught in systems that prioritize budgets over lives,” said Lightner. “This movement is about creating real, lasting change by giving parents and advocates the tools to fight back—together.”
Stepping Up for Disabled Kids will focus on:
-Advocating for Medicaid and ACA protections to ensure healthcare access.
-Fighting for equitable special education funding and inclusion.
-Securing disability rights at the state and federal levels.
-Pushing for systemic accountability in education, healthcare, and beyond.
The initiative will provide action alerts, background on critical issues, and step-by-step guidance to empower participants to contact legislators and advocate effectively. It also aims to foster a strong, solution-focused community of like-minded individuals who share the mission of supporting disabled kids through systemic change.
A Progressive Platform for Disability Rights
Recognizing that disability rights should be non-partisan, Stepping Up for Disabled Kids acknowledges the reality: many solutions lean progressive. Participants are encouraged to join the movement with an open mind and a commitment to honest, fact-based action.
A Call to Action
Parents, advocates, and allies who want to take meaningful action for disabled children are invited to join the movement. Stepping Up for Disabled Kids offers a Facebook group and web page as a central hub for collaboration and will launch an online information hub to support advocacy efforts.
