We need change for people on the street. Change for jobs. And change for people who are disabled.
I see a lot of disabled people on the street. Bad weather is hard for disabled people because when it freezes you can’t move your wheelchair. When it snows you have to find places that are level, then when it’s level, you can move your wheelchair. Not only me, but everybody that is disabled. And at the same time most of the bus drivers leave lots of disabled people on the street. I experienced it a lot in the past.
Meanwhile, climate change is making things that used to happen not happen anymore. The weather is changing all around the world. The way it used to rain, it doesn’t rain like that, it rains once a month. If the weather changes, the whole world changes. We’re having protests all around the world, that’s economic change too.
