Episode 3: I’m Just a Lucky Guy
In the latest installment of The Game Plan, host Eric Harris is joined by Vance Taylor, a leader in both the disability and emergency preparedness space. Vance and Eric commiserate about the unexpected joys of being a parent with a disability, muse on what constitutes being an inspiration, and reflect on how natural disasters cut across party lines.
Episode 2: They're All Disability Issues, or, Hunger Only For A Taste of Justice
This time on The Game Plan, Eric Harris has a conversation with DRC’s capo di tutti capi, Andy Imparato, a fierce national disability rights advocate for over 25 years. The two brothers in arms discuss California’s storied history as the cradle of the disability rights movement, express hope about the current landscape and future of disabled representation in politics, and define the need for disability issues to be a priority for California’s next Governor.
Episode 1: A World Where We Get to Be Right Together
On this inaugural episode of The Game Plan, Eric Harris is joined by Vanessa Ramos, all around kid dynamite and special advisor to DRC’s Investigations Unit. They dive into their mutual origin story opposing the CARE Act, the landmark mental health bill that set off California's current nightmare direction on homelessness and mental health policy, discuss advocating for people with mental health disabilities, Vanessa’s personal connections to her work, and her experience taking an outsider's approach to government.
