In this week’s episode I sat down with Dom Kelly. Dom is the Co-Founder, President & CEO of New Disabled South, a non-profit working to achieve liberation and justice for disabled people in the South. and New Disabled South Rising, its advocacy arm. Prior to that he served as both the Georgia Fundraising Director and the Senior Advisor for Disability for Stacey Abrams’ campaign for governor of Georgia and was the Senior Fundraising Manager and a Strategic Advisor for Disability at Fair Fight Action, where he also created and led the organization’s Disability Council composed of prominent disability advocates and policy experts from across the country. We discuss understanding disability from a political perspective, the importance of base-building, how New Disabled South is achieving its mission and much, much more.
