Judy Heumann, Still Building Bridges!

In these trying times, it's a pleasure to get together with friends in a good cause.  So it was huge fun - not to mention informative - to be a part of Monday's event at UDC honoring Judy Heumann, national and local trailblazer for disability rights, who passed away on March 4, 2023.  Besides the inspiring videos and panels, there was an exciting announcement at the event, namely that Councilmember Frumin has introduced a bill to rename the Klingle Valley bridge on Connecticut Avenue in her honor.  Apparently a number of her neighbors at the Kennedy Warren apartment building had championed this idea.  DC's disability advocates, and the community at large, will want to turn out in support of this bill when it receives consideration by the DC council.
