Isabel Mavrides-Calderón

Isabel is a 17 year-old American disability rights activist who focuses her work on campaigning policy change, anti-ableism, and accessibility. Recently she has hosted campaigns for disability rights bills with the American Civil Liberties Union and The Center For Disability Rights. She was also an accessibility consultant for The Australian Climate Strike, and is currently writing a research paper on accessibility in education post COVID-19 that she hopes to publish and use to enact policy change for disabled people in education. She loves public speaking in conferences, speech tournaments and her TikTok where she speaks about disability rights issues.
 

One action Isabel would like everyone to take:

“If you are in the United States, contact your Representatives and tell them to support the SSI Restoration Act of 2021. This bill will be revolutionary for marriage equality for disabled folk and ensuring disabled people can have enough to eat and live.”
