Description

With the Senate announcing they’re heading into recess without passing the Build Back Better Act, we figured why not get out of the news cycle for Off-Kilter’s last episode of the year and instead have a far more good-news conversation that Rebecca Vallas has been meaning to have for a while with her dear friend Rebecca Cokley about what she’s got underway at the Ford Foundation, in her history-making new role as the first program officer to head a U.S. disability rights portfolio at a major U.S. foundation.  For more: Learn more about Rebecca Cokley’s newly launched disability rights program at the Ford Foundation  Here’s more on what the Rebeccas mean when they say “disability is a cause and consequence of poverty” Follow Rebecca Cokley on Twitter: @rebeccacokley
