Jennifer Bartlett has long been using her voice to advocate for people with disabilities: first as a poet and a writer, and later as an activist in New York City.

Here’s her story of how speaking up for disabled people at a Rise and Resist activist meeting led her to her current role within the MTA President's Office for Systemwide Accessibility, where she works on changing the culture around disability access.
