In memory of Senator Kennedy
by Katy
Today, one of our greatest (if not the greatest) champions died. I’ve had the honor of working with Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) for the past 25 years. He was always the one who would step up and fight the good fight to protect the interests of people with disabilities and their families.
The struggle for equal opportunity for Americans with disabilities is an essential part of our country’s commitment to civil and human rights for all Americans, and no legislator understood that better than Kennedy. He will definitely be missed, but his legacy will be felt for generations to come. My prayers go to his family and to our country.

Senator Kennedy’s voice is not silenced as he will speak through all of us who have been inspired and made stronger by his work and spirit of what humanity truly encompasses. Peace to him, his family and loved ones.
