Video - Inside the Cuban Café Where People With Autism and Down Syndrome Work
https://peertube.world/w/696hHN82o8to8pzQcaG5DE
Duration - 4:40[a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]
When a mother couldn’t find a place willing to employ her son Liván, who has #DownSyndrome, she decided to create one.
Liva Café in Havana employs people with intellectual disabilities and #autism, with support from specialists in #psychology and #SpecialEducation. For workers like Livan, Karel and Richard, it’s a place to earn experience, build relationships and show what they can do.
Cuba has long had policies aimed at integrating people with #disabilities into the workspace. But as the people in Liva’s story explain, significant barriers remain — particularly when it comes to finding employers willing to give them an opportunity.

Why we need Disability Pride Month
In addition to Independence Day and all the birthdays we’re celebrating, July is Disability Pride Month. It even has its own flag.
You might wonder why we need another pride month when we already had one in June. (For some people, like my brother, the two pride months overlap.) There were a few incidents that showed me why disabled people need a pride month.
I recently went on a Costco run with my granddaughter, who has cerebral palsy. As we went down the aisles, a stranger came up to her and asked if she needed any help. She didn’t have her iPad with its TD Snap software at the time, so I told the person that she was fine and didn’t need help. He asked, “Are you sure?” I told him we were. When he left, my granddaughter shook her head in annoyance. A few steps further, an older woman told the person with her, “God bless that poor child.” My granddaughter looked up at me with a “what’s wrong with her?” expression. Those people may have thought they were well-meaning, but to my granddaughter, they came off as patronizing.
But this is nothing compared to the ableist abuse others are facing. One of the perpetrators is, of course, the Trump Administration.
Their latest move is to shift special education from the Department of Education to the Department of Health and Human Services, headed by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (You know, the one who lamented that children with autism will “never hold a job.”) This raises concerns that the federal government will push to have people with disabilities institutionalized like they were before the 1960s. Such a move would be in line with the rest of the 60 years’ worth of civil rights progress the Administration has been rolling back. It also ties into their beliefs about white supremacy and eugenics. Let’s not forget that disabled people were the first to be exterminated by Germany in the 1930s.
This should alarm all of us. The disabled community is one that anyone can join. An accident, disease, chemical exposure, military combat, trauma, or simply age can make any of us disabled. In that situation, we would expect acceptance and support. So why should anyone consider denying it to anyone else?
Disability Pride, much like LGBTQ+ Pride, is about people being free to live their fullest as their authentic themselves. It’s not about denying anyone else their rights. In fact, protecting the rights of disabled people and making products and facilities more accessible benefits everyone. Accessible products are more useful. Ramps and sidewalk curbs help people with baby strollers and carts. Disabled people contribute to society as well. My son was a job coach and helped a number of autistic adults perform meaningful work. Those same ADA accommodations and support programs can help us get back to our jobs after a disability.
My granddaughter is thriving in public schools. She made the honor roll at her middle school, helped it win a unified soccer tournament, and made a number of friends. The strides made in the rights of disabled people enable her to achieve her goals and live a full and productive life. We must continue to fight to protect her rights, as well as restore and defend the freedoms stolen from other communities.
On the door to her room, she has a sign that says, “Cerebral palsy slows me down, but it ain’t stopping me!” People like her should be free to live to their highest potential—and that may include us when the time comes. That’s why we need Disability Pride Month.

Oh great. Put #RFKJr in charge of #SpecialEducation and the #InjusticeDepartment in charge of #CivilRights in Education. That should go well...
#TrumpSucks ramps up #EducationDepartment’s dismantling with changes on special education and civil rights
By ANNIE MA
Updated 5:42 PM EDT, June 16, 2026WASHINGTON (AP) — "President Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday accelerated its dismantling of the Education Department, delegating much of its work to protect the nation’s at-risk students in a move that carves away the vast majority of its functions for other agencies to handle.
"The Department of Justice will take on enforcement of civil rights in education, while the Department of Health and Human Services will oversee special education, administration officials announced.
"The two agencies involved — the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and the Office for Civil Rights — defend the rights of children with #disabilities and those who experience #discrimination based on race, sex or religion. Advocates worry the change could mean lapses in communication for families and school officials who need help.
"Trump, a Republican, campaigned on shutting down the Education Department, saying he would 'move education back to the states where it belongs.' While only Congress can close the department, Trump’s education secretary, #LindaMcMahon, a billionaire and former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment [#WWE], has formed agreements with other federal agencies to handle much of her department’s work."

#TrumpSucks ramps up #EducationDepartment’s dismantling with changes on special education and civil rights
By ANNIE MA
Updated 5:42 PM EDT, June 16, 2026WASHINGTON (AP) — "President Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday accelerated its dismantling of the Education Department, delegating much of its work to protect the nation’s at-risk students in a move that carves away the vast majority of its functions for other agencies to handle.
"The Department of Justice will take on enforcement of civil rights in education, while the Department of Health and Human Services will oversee special education, administration officials announced.
"The two agencies involved — the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and the Office for Civil Rights — defend the rights of children with #disabilities and those who experience #discrimination based on race, sex or religion. Advocates worry the change could mean lapses in communication for families and school officials who need help.
"Trump, a Republican, campaigned on shutting down the Education Department, saying he would 'move education back to the states where it belongs.' While only Congress can close the department, Trump’s education secretary, #LindaMcMahon, a billionaire and former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment [#WWE], has formed agreements with other federal agencies to handle much of her department’s work."
