Welcome to the summer/fall season of Off-Kilter ! We're excited to be back and up and running with the show after a break, just in time to mark Disability Pride Month. And to kick things off right, Rebecca sat back down with Mia Ives-Rublee , a long-time disability rights and justice activist who today serves as the director of the disability justice initiative at the Center for American Progress.
