Register to vote at https://vote.gov/ The political world is no stranger to divisive language, but what happens when campaigning shifts from policy debate to propaganda, and who pays the price? Campaigning doesn’t come cheap. According to one statistic from 2020, congressional and presidential races collectively cost over 14 billion dollars. While smear campaigns have come to be expected, in recent years the mudslinging between candidates has turned into fearmongering with racial overtones that stereotype and vilify entire communities. As a result, programs to protect and support vulnerable minority groups, including the disabled community, are in jeopardy even more than they already were. Sticks and stones may break bones, but surely the policies of propaganda can hurt all of us in the end. On October 10, 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. Participate in future podcast discussions by signing up for our newsletter or Zoom events at https://www.morethanwalking.com/register. Listen as a podcast at https://anchor.fm/morethanwalking.
