@nowthis: #Denver City Council member Chris Hinds told #CNN he felt ‘exploited’ after crawling onto a stage for a #debate with no wheelchair access. The event was later moved to the main floor where he could use his #wheelchair. According to the #CDC, 11% of adults in the U.S. have a mobility disability ‘with serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs.’

This is so embarrassing. For them, not for him.

What public venue STILL doesn’t have some sort of wheelchair access to the stage? Did they choose that location on purpose?

I’d vote for him. With that tenacity you know he’ll get things done.

Y’all this happens all the time. It’s so wrong but not unusual. Fight for accessibility in your spaces.

The ADA is over 30 years old. There is zero acceptable excuse for why places are not universally accessible

They did this deliberately to him to force him to forfeit $125k campaign funds if he didn’t debate.

floor to chair transfers are extremely challenging. Only ever had one paraplegic patient who could do it.

I believe it. My sister is disabled. From driving- parking- entering a place it’s a struggle. Things are NOT as accessible as they seem!

Actually, as a disabled person, I’m sure it was embarrassing for him. I mean it’s been 30 something years since the ADA people.

This is missing some context that makes it worse 😕 he had to or he’d lose funding, and they moved the debate to the floor after he crawled up 😕
