As promised during yesterday’s edition of First Voice, below you will find info regarding donations to aid Haiti. You wil also find info regarding things mentioned during the Disabilities & Equality interview we aired.

The Red Cross is taking donations for the Haiti relief effort through its website at www.redcross.org, via telephone at 1.800.733.2767, or you can text the word HAITI to 90999 and a $10 donation will automatically be charged to your next cell phone bill.

Yesterday’s interview with Adam Ballard from Access Living brought up several questions, so I will answer a few of those here.

1. Where can I get more information about Access Living, their mission, and services?
A: Their website is www.accessliving.org, or you can call them at Voice 312.640.2118 TTY 312.640.2169

2. What is the 3E love logo?
A: The 3E Love logo is a symbol that has been used here in the U.S. to mean acceptance of people with disabilities and their allies. If you would like to see what the symbol looks like you can visit www.3elove.com. Here you can also learn how this company helps the disabled community.

Hope this information is useful to you.

When we think of equality we often think of race, gender, sexual orientation, and even social class, but what of the disabled community? January 20th is the National Day of Acceptance for people with disabilities. This, unfortunately, is the only group that anyone can join in a heartbeat, yet it is often the most ignor…ed. With approx. 70% of its members unemployed and living at or below poverty level, legislation like the ADA does not guarantee non-discrimination and true acceptance/equality. Tell us what you think.

First Voice also extends our condolences to the people of Haiti. The earthquake, which struck January 12th, left behind an incredible amount of death and destruction, and the tiny island nation needs our help. Tune in to First Voice on Tuesdays from 6-7p CST to find out what you can do.

The situation is desperate as rescue workers continue the search, while thousands of bodies remain unburried creating an enormous threat of disease. The international community has shown great support, but there is still much to be done. Many Haitians continue to be without food, water, and other essentials.
