A proposito di questo titolo

Join host Bruce Drake of ARISE – EFR as he sits down with statewide systems advocate Phil Preen to unpack how meaningful systems-change happens in the world of disability rights and independent living.
In this episode, we explore:

  • What it really means to be a systems advocate and how that role differs from direct service.

  • Phil’s roots in community organizing, his own connection to disability via his sister, and how that experience shaped his work.

  • The function of independent living centers—what sets them apart and how they empower people with disabilities.

  • Real wins in advocacy: from improvements to accessible voting equipment to protections around source-of-income discrimination.

  • The balance between policy-wonk detail and person-centered organizing, and why trust and credibility matter in this work.

Whether you’re a disability-rights advocate, policy-enthused citizen, or simply curious about how grassroots effort connects to institutional change, this episode offers a powerful look at how lasting impact is built—one relationship, one system, one community at a time.

Tune in to discover how empowerment, organizing, and policy intersect to move the needle on justice and inclusion.
