Judy is chatting with Elijah Armstrong and Anna Landre about the ableism they experienced in education that motivated them to be activists. Elijah Armstrong is a graduate from Harvard Graduate School of Education who is an activist in education policy, fighting for other students to not have the same ableist educational experience that he had. Currently he is working on a project as part of receiving the Paul Hearne Emerging Leader award from AAPD. With the funds from the Paul Hearne Award, Elijah has started the Heumann-Armstrong Award for Education Activism. Anna Landre is a recent graduate from Georgetown and continues to fight against the ableist education system. She is a Truman and Marshall Scholar and will be studying at the London School of Economics in the Fall. Transcripts for this episode are available at judithheumann.com
