“Crip Camp”: Documenting The Disability Rights Movement
A Netflix film explains the evolution the movement. We look at how local activists continue the fight for inclusion.
Candidates across the country like to make a punching bag out of the national politics that shape Washington, D.C. But those attempts to use “Washington” as a symbol don’t always square with the local reality in the D.C. region – like when a congressman from Iowa recently tweeted that local D.C. needs a recession because the area’s economy is “being built on the backs of U.S. taxpayers.” We take a clear-eyed look at the region’s economy and see how it compares to the region’s caricatures this political season.
