Text reads “NASW-CA DisAbilities Council Mourns the Passing of Judy Heumann, Disability Rights Activist.”

The DisAbilities Council is mourning the death of Judith Heumann, a true disabilities rights hero and trailblazer. Thank you, Judy, for paving the way for people with disabilities to be included as active members of society and to realize they have a voice worthy of being heard. We will continue her work as there is still much to be done!
