“Those who should be leading us are in
denial about designing for the disability
community. We have to step on toes,” Saxton said.
“We need to get
upset about this.” Marcie Roth, CEO of Partnership for
Inclusive Disaster Strategies, began her focus on people
with disabilities in disasters in the immediate aftermath
of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks,
serving as an
advisor to the White House on the rights and urgent needs
of disaster survivors with disabilities living in the area
around ground zero.
