Protecting the rights of people with disabilities during lockdown

Disability Rights Oregon keeps watch

The assertion of basic rights has been a hallmark of the COVID-19 pandemic. Political leaders ordered people to stop going to work and school, where possible, and remain at home.

It wasn't long before people objected, saying their rights had been violated. Disability Rights Oregon represents a group of people that has to assert its rights even when there is no pandemic.
