“You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” ❤️I am thinking of this teaching from the Talmud today with the news of Judy Heumann’s passing. Judy, we are picking it up where you left off. Thanks for clearing the path.— Sabrina Epstein (@SabrinaTessEp) March 4, 2023

Judy Heumann has died. She did so much to advance disability rights, and to mentor disabled people. What a huge loss. Her legacy is enormous and I'm so grateful to her. Condolences to everyone who knew and loved her. https://t.co/XMlm9Aog4f— Carly Findlay OAM (she/her) (@carlyfindlay) March 4, 2023

I wrote this thread of all the things I was able to do because of my 504 after Crip Camp came out. Judy Heumann changed so many of our lives, including mine.https://t.co/idJ8uExvX8— Lillie Lainoff (@lillielainoff) March 4, 2023

Heumann led the 504 Sit-In, the longest-ever peaceful occupation of a federal building. We will not see her like again.https://t.co/dFKHRfXVTD— Zack Budryk (@BudrykZack) March 4, 2023

Rest in power, Judy Heumann. We can’t thank you enough for your disability rights advocacy around the world. The mother of disability rights and a badass, too, so many of us are missing you. #JudyHeumann https://t.co/2L628Cgx3y— Haben Girma👩🏿‍🦯 (@HabenGirma) March 4, 2023

Judy Heumann was my friend & mentor. She was larger than life. Her impact on the disability community is incalculable. It felt like she would be here forever. I already miss her. But I know she’ll live on, in every feisty disabled person that fights for our rights & our place. pic.twitter.com/QyJ4xq931T— Anna Landre ♿️ (@annalandre) March 4, 2023

The disability community lost one of its most consequential leaders today, Judy Heumann. I never met Judy in person, but I talked with her once or twice over Zoom during the pandemic. And like so many others, I learned from her even when I didn't realize It.#DisabilityTwitter— Andrew Pulrang (@AndrewPulrang) March 4, 2023

Deeply, deeply sad to hear of the death of Judy Heumann, a very wonderful person & the most effective disability rights activist you could ever hope to know. RIP.— Tom Shakespeare (@TommyShakes) March 4, 2023

Judy Heumann changed our world, but most especially, she changed the world for disabled people. Much of my life would not be possible without the work she did in her lifetime. Your memory, your work, your example: a blessing. Baruch Dayan emet.— Elsa Sjunneson, an Actual Bat (@snarkbat) March 4, 2023

“I wanna see a feisty group of disabled people around the world…if you don’t respect yourself and if you don’t demand what you believe in for yourself, you’re not gonna get it.” – Judith Heumann— Stimpunks Foundation (@stimpunks) March 4, 2023

Awful news. Grateful to have met Judy and eternally thankful to what she did for our community. May her memory be a blessing. https://t.co/9qKQGWnywU— Dom Kelly (@the_tattooedjew) March 4, 2023

The disability rights movement lost one of its pioneers today, Judy Heumann. From Camp Jened to the 504 sit-in to serving as the first Special Advisor on International Disability Rights under President Obama, Judy was a lifelong global leader in the disability community. https://t.co/XJmnYsEUDe— Steven Kapp (@drstevenkapp) March 4, 2023

Happy #WeirdPrideDay.https://t.co/MKD5lodNaRWhat should we add to our Weird Pride playlist?https://t.co/LoRj41r4Ts— Stimpunks Foundation (@stimpunks) March 4, 2023

Happy #WeirdPrideDay, everyone!As long as people don't accept weirdness - their own and other people's - folk who have no choice but to be the way they are will be rejected, punished and discriminated against.On Weird Pride Day, stand up and say you're weird and you're proud! pic.twitter.com/Zz7fEBQglI— AMASE (@AMASEdin) March 4, 2023

Meanwhile, spare a thought for those who aren't yet able celebrate their oddness safely - where social or psychological barriers mean that they feel they have to hide important parts of who they are.#WeirdPrideDay is for them too - for a world where one day, they won't have to.— AMASE (@AMASEdin) March 4, 2023

"Self-advocacy is exercising power over your own life. The problem with self-advocacy is that it is usually inconvenient for people who refuse to believe disabled people have agency. #Neurodiversity is, if anything, more important for those who cannot advocate without support." https://t.co/QTuaViUC7P— Shannon Des Roches Rosa (@shannonrosa) February 20, 2023
