Last fall, Judy captivated the room at the reception for the bipartisan Int'l Children w/ Disabilities Protection Act, sharing her story. Her contribution to the progress of rights for people w/ disabilities has changed our country for the better. May her memory be a blessing.


Judy Heumann and the Bronfman family are true friends of Disability Rights International — standing up for a jewish values of justice, equality, and inclusion. @TCBprize @judithheumann

We join our Prize laureate @EricDRI & @DRI_advocacy in mourning the passing of a true great. Judy Heumann – daughter of Holocaust survivors – broke down barriers in NYC schools, protested until federal leg was passed, & advised multiple presidents. timesofisrael.com/judy-heumann-j…



Our friend Judy Heumann has touched lives throughout the world and receiving well deserved recognition for it.

Poignant moment as the Interactive Dialogue with @SR_Disability at the Human Rights Council begins with a silence recognising the massive contribution of @judithheumann to disability rights globally including the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities itself #HRC52

On behalf of Disability Rights International (DRI), I would like to express my sadness and condolences to Jorge and the family of Judy Heumann on the news of her passing over the weekend. Judy was a true friend and great supporter of the work of DRI.

Good news !! The CRPD Committee has adopted the guidelines on #deinstitutionalisation, including in emergencies. Our efforts are not in vain! @InclusionIntl @TCIAsia @IDA_CRPD_Forum @CHR_HumanRights @ValidityNGO @DRI_advocacy @DisabRightsFund


Today #CRPD Committee adopted Guidelines on Deinstitutionalization: gov'ts and donors must support family living NOT institutions for children with disabilities even in times for war and emergency. @IDA_CRPD_Forum @BCNNL @InterActionOrg @ElevateChildren ohchr.org/en/documents/l…


BBC followed @DRI_advocacy into Ukraine institutions for children with disabilities. As a democracy committed to #HumanRights and #EU accession, #Ukraine must ensure full inclusion. @IDA_CRPD_Forum @InclusionEurope @ENIL_EU @hrw @USICD @TheArcUS bbc.co.uk/news/disabilit…

Thanks to @TCBprize for helping us send out word: Protect Ukraine’schildren with disabilities now! @DRI_advocacy

DRI needs your immediate support to help Ukraine's children and adults with disabilities in institutions and orphanages. We have Ukrainian staff finding those most at risk and linking them with international relief. Please donate at: driadvocacy.org/donate/



Bombing orphanages and institutions for people with disabilities a war crime. @DRI_advocacy keeping track in Ukraine to hold abusers accountable. @IDA_CRPD_Forum @lenrubenstein @oneillinstitute @ENIL_EU @SaveChildrenEU

Thanks to @usmissiongeneva for hosting important #Ukraine discussion yesterday. Laws of war aren't optional. All civilians including those w/#disabilities must be protected & illegal orders resisted. All personnel, senior or junior, are answerable to international criminal law.
