About

For the nearly the last decade, Ericka has been a fierce advocate and organizer for Disability Rights. From committing civil disobedience at the United States Capitol to saving a local bus stop, she believes that disabled lives are worth living and fighting for. 

​

She has a particular passion for squashing the institutional bias that forces disabled people into nursing institutions or "Chronic Homelessness" every day. It was in her work with Independent Living Centers across the country, she was able to see all the gaps where the current systems were letting disabled people slip by unserved.
