Who Is Aunt Jospehine?
In this deeply moving episode, we uncover a family secret that remained hidden for years and explore how that discovery ignited a lifelong passion for advocacy. We trace the history of the 'warehousing' of individuals with developmental disabilities in Ohio and the fierce advocacy that ultimately broke down those institutional walls. From the dawn of group homes in the 1980s to modern-day policy battles in Washington, D.C., this episode is a testament to the power of sharing your story to better humanity. This episode highlights and strengthens our mission, and we hope it lights a fire under all who take the time to listen. Thank you. If you have a family member whose story was also a hidden part of history and would like to share, please reach out to AJ and Danielle at risingvoices.info@gmail.com "Never take your foot off the gas pedal when it comes to advocacy. You have to keep it going at all times." - Tony Thomas Stay involved and keep the momentum going by connecting with these leading organizations: ANCOR – The American Network of Community Options and Resources. Note: Look out for the Disability Policy Summit held every Sept/Oct in Washington, D.C. The NADD – An association for individuals with IDD and co-occurring mental health conditions. NADSP – National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals, the leading voice for the DSP workforce and federal legislation. The Arc of the United States – Promoting and protecting the human rights of people with IDD and supporting their full inclusion in society.
