The bigger problem is that nobody has the tools or ability to talk about the injustices that they're facing. But I work with a couple of amazing people, one that I've worked with many years who is a survivor of sexual violence and one that I've worked with since the center started who where they have used their platform and their story to really help

change the narrative and the understanding around these issues. Absolutely change can happen, but we've got to get more focus on these issues so that there's more support and more acceptance to want to talk about it.

I think the stories are there waiting to be had, but there's still a lot more in terms of figuring out how to bring, I think, more collaboration to the table between the disability world, the And policing, that's what NCCJD, our national center, was set up to do is to create that collaborative space. so that we can learn how to work together to raise this issue.

But having people with disabilities who've lived it leading that effort is what we're really seeking to do and bringing their story forward. I think people who have lived it and bring their story are the biggest hope that we have because we all can feel and see and taste and experience through their stories that something can change.

We ourselves have experienced at the center difficulty in finding those stories. We have, as I said, our national information referral line that we will look for stories through there. But I think there's a double stigma with disability as well as, say, being a victim of a crime or being a suspect of a crime. It's almost like you've got dual stigmas going on.

And people, I think, don't always feel comfortable talking about the reality of their lives, what they have faced or what they are facing. And sometimes even because they're in the system right now, they can't talk about it.
