Meet Erin. Erin works on our Cargo Net Manufacturing team, but this week she took on a different role: self-advocate. She spent the week in Washington, D.C., at the SourceAmerica Grassroots Advocacy Conference, using her voice to speak up for people with disabilities across the nation. Erin bravely shared her personal story with congressmen, senators, and fellow self-advocates from all over the country, shining a light on the challenges and successes people with disabilities face every day—from access to employment to the need for policy changes that promote true inclusion. Way to go, Erin! We're beyond proud of you for standing up and making your voice heard. Let's keep working toward a future where every person has the opportunity to thrive. #TheAbilitiesConnection #TAC #TACTeam #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityInclusion #ThinkInclusion #InclusiveThinking #PeopleWithDisabilities #IAmSomebody #AdvocacyInAction #ChangeIsPossible
