Episode Overview: Staying True to the Work: Disability Rights & Equity in Action

What happens when the people most affected by decisions are the ones helping lead them?

In this episode of ALC ChangeMakers, Jennifer Sconyers talks with Kerstin Sjoberg, Executive Director of Disability Rights Ohio, about her journey from corporate law to civil rights advocacy and the organization's mission to protect and advance the rights of people with disabilities. 

Kerstin shares how Disability Rights Ohio navigates complex policy challenges, stays focused on its mission during uncertain times, and ensures that people with disabilities are leading the conversations that impact their lives. This inspiring discussion offers practical lessons in advocacy, inclusive leadership, and creating meaningful systems change.
