Description
Are you ready to dive into some of the most crucial legal battles impacting the disability community today? On this week’s program we welcome back Michelle Uzeta, a staff attorney from the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, to break down landmark cases that could reshape the landscape of disability rights in America.

Michelle Uzeta This program is hosted and produced by Eddie Ytuarte. The post Disability & Law – Pushing Limits – July 26, 2024 appeared first on KPFA.
