2020 #CripTheVote Candidate Chats

With the 2020 Presidential election fast approaching, the co-partners of #CripTheVote, Andrew Pulrang, Gregg Beratan, and Alice Wong, invite candidates from any party to join us in a Twitter chat about disability policy and issues. We are offering to host individual chats for each interested candidate in 2020. Below is an outline of the chat format including questions and time at the end for engagement with community members. Please note: Our advocacy is nonpartisan and any chats with candidates are not official endorsements.

If you’re interested, email us: cripthevote@gmail.com

Check out this recap from our last Twitter chat: https://wakelet.com/wake/8fe0236d-328f-45b1-99fd-58412b1e52d9



#CripTheVote Candidate Chat format for each individual candidate (60-75 minutes):

Q3: Please share your policies and proposals that are focused on people with disabilities and how you developed them.  

Q4: How are disabled people involved in your campaign whether it’s staff, volunteers, advisors, or consultants? How will this continue in your administration if elected?
