Affordability has been a major focus in this year's primary election season, but for Disabled people, the reality has been more complex.

The "Disability Tax" means it can cost us 28% more to live just to access the same basics of daily life. On top of that, wage gaps, benefit restrictions, and accessibility barriers continue to limit true economic freedom.

So when politicians talk about affordability, we have to ask:
Who is this system actually affordable for?

Our latest blog breaks down how Disability justice reframes affordability beyond talking points and into real structural change.

At the top of the white box is the Center for Disability Rights logo, which features a stylized torch inside a circular emblem with the words “CIVIL RIGHTS,” “INTEGRATION,” and “INDEPENDENCE.” Below the logo, large bold text reads “AFFORDABILITY, DISABILITY, AND DISABILITY JUSTICE.” Under that, smaller italic text says “Is ‘affordability’ a red herring for Disabled folks in this year’s elections.” At the bottom of the white box is a black rectangular banner with white text that reads “LINK IN POST.”]
