Disability Advocacy with Fred Hess

Join us for a conversation with disability rights activist Fred Hess of New Castle, Pennsylvania. We'll talk about Fred's own story of spinal cord injury resulting in paraplegia, rehabilitation, and how he reshaped his life in a very different and fulfilling way helping others through advocacy. We'll also talk about the hot topic of transportation and Fred's participation in regional, state and federal transportation committees, as well as his work at Disability Options Network, accessability to public buildings and spaces, the new disability icon project, social media, and much much more!
