How to Be a Better Ally, With Disability Advocate Alice Wong

On The Upgrade, a podcast from Lifehacker, co-hosts Alice Bradley and Jordan Calhoun and their guests give listeners how-to guides on "the stuff that matters." On this episode, the duo and guest Alice Wong discuss an incredibly important topic: disability rights and allyship. Readers will likely recognize Alice Wong from the Disability Visibility Project, a fantastic resource included in the 05-29-2020 Best of the Scout Report issue. In addition to directing the Disability Visibility Project, Wong is an author, activist, and consultant. Here, Wong shares how able-bodied individuals can recognize their privilege and show up for people with disabilities. Additionally, the conversation focuses on COVID-19's influence on disability rights. A universal takeaway from the episode is that accessibility does not only benefit disabled people; it benefits everyone.
