Hillary Clinton Vows to Protect the Rights of People with Disabilities in Orlando Speech

Yesterday, Hillary Clinton campaigned in Orlando, Florida. During her speech, Clinton praised Orlando for overcoming a number challenges it has faced this past year. “You showed the world what Orlando is made of: strength, love and kindness. This is something we could all use more of right now,” she said. Clinton then spoke about the primary focus of her speech which was her plan to expand job and educational opportunities for Americans with disabilities. Clinton said she has a full plan to ensure those with disabilities have equal opportunity because they “have so much to offer, but are given too few chances to prove it.” An outline of Clinton’s proposal is available on The Briefing, and a summary of what Clinton is proposing is below:

• Work to fulfill the promise of the Americans with Disabilities Act
• Expand support for Americans with disabilities to live in integrated community settings
• Ensuring that every child, no matter his or her background, can get a high-quality education
• Improve access to competitive integrated employment for people with disabilities
• Break down barriers to voting
• Expand Social Security by counting the hard work of family caregivers and giving them the benefits they deserve
• Provide tax relief to family members who care for elderly relatives, including those with disabilities
• Support children, youth, and adults living with autism, as well as their families
• Expand access to mental health services and eliminate the stigma that is too often associated with seeking out care

Watch a video of Clinton’s full speech below.

Clinton was also interviewed by a local ABC station in Orlando. Watch the full interview below.
