IT IS TOXIC ABLEISM
Many ableists think now that we have home delivery of food, medicine, clothes, etc. — there is no need to make the built environment wheelchair accessible.
But isolation prevents chance
encounters/diverse experiences that maintain mental health.
Only 25 percent of MTA subway stations
are accessible.
Adding broken down lifts and people
with disabilities are denied chance encounters and societal immersions that
other commuters enjoy.
