On Monday, July 1, 2024, the United States Supreme Court weighed in on the polarizing issue of Presidential Immunity. In a 6-3 vote, the justices ruled that a sitting president can’t be criminally prosecuted for “official acts” done while in office. The court is divided on this historic topic, one justice who ruled in favor of the measure is quoted as saying to those who dissented “They strike a tone of chilling doom” while another who dissented said, “With fear for our democracy, I dissent”. Many have expressed concern that given this type of power, the executive branch could become an authoritarian regime with no checks and balances. What worries the disability community is where that leaves us. Our ability to exercise our right to freedom of speech, peacefully protest, and rock the vote is crucial - so how can we protect it?

On August 8, 2024, More Than Walking members were invited to participate in a roundtable discussion hosted by C4 quadriplegic and Hip Hop musician Corey “Pheez” Lee, and C7 quadriplegic and More Than Walking CEO Jonathan Sigworth.
