In recognition of International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Disability:IN  invites partners to reflect on the extraordinary legacy of disability rights pioneer Judy Heumann through a special conversation featuring Disability:IN President & CEO Jill Houghton, Congressman Tony Coelho, and Ted Kennedy Jr.

As leaders who knew and worked alongside Judy, the conversation will share personal reflections on her impact while exploring a larger question: what will it take to build the next frontier of disability inclusion?
