In May's introductory episode of Super Adaptables, hosts Corey “Pheez” Lee and Jonathan Sigworth discuss the ultimate social safety net - due process. In the wake of hundreds of people in the United States being deported to and indefinitely imprisoned in El Salvador, without any opportunity to plead their case in court, the constitutional right of due process for every person, citizens and non-citizens alike, is under threat. This is not an immigration issue. Without due process, no American is safe, there is no freedom of speech, and there can be no progress for disability rights or other issues that impact our lives.This year on Super Adaptables, we’re diving deep into social safety net programs - a new topic each month with weekly episodes - exploring how they function, their challenges, and their impact on all our lives.🎙️Hosts:🎤 Jonathan Sigworth – C7 quadriplegic, More Than Walking CEO🎤 Corey “Pheez” Lee – C4 quadriplegic, More Than Walking Peer Mentor Coordinator, Hip Hop artist🔹 Join the Conversation📩 Sign up for our newsletter & Zoom events: https://www.morethanwalking.com/register🎧 Listen on your favorite podcast platform or YouTube – Search "More Than Walking" or "Super Adaptables"🔹 Get Involved in Disability Advocacy🤝 Connect with advocacy organizations: https://bit.ly/MTWAdvocacyNetwork📢 Share this podcast with friends (email template): https://bit.ly/ShareSuperAdaptables🔹 DisclaimerThe views expressed on this podcast are those of individual speakers and do not necessarily reflect those of More Than Walking.

On October 31, 2024, Super Adaptables Co-host Corey Lee sat down with Stratford, CT Registrar of Voters (D) James Simon to discuss how the voting and verification process works at the local, state, and national level and why American voters can be confident in official election results.
The political world is no stranger to divisive language, but what happens when campaigning shifts from policy debate to propaganda, and who pays the price? Campaigning doesn’t come cheap. According to one statistic from 2020, congressional and presidential races collectively cost over 14 billion dollars. While smear campaigns have come to be expected, in recent years the mudslinging between candidates has turned into fearmongering with racial overtones that stereotype and vilify entire communities. As a result, programs to protect and support vulnerable minority groups, including the disabled community, are in jeopardy even more than they already were. Sticks and stones may break bones, but surely the policies of propaganda can hurt all of us in the end.On October 10, 2024, More Than Walking members were invited to participate in a roundtable discussion hosted by C4 quadriplegic and Hip Hop musician Corey “Pheez” Lee, and C7 quadriplegic and More Than Walking CEO Jonathan Sigworth.

The founder, Sir Ludwig Guttmann, was a neurologist who fled Nazi Germany and believed that being involved in sports was a great way to rehabilitate. What began as a form of therapy became what is now known as the Paralympics. In 2020, the summer Paralympics had over 4500 athletes participate from 163 countries. The Paralympics presents us with the world's best differently-abled athletes and opportunities to question how people with disabilities are treated back home; athletics has a way of bringing issues of justice, equity, and inclusion to the forefront. Whether you’re a casual observer, a diehard sports enthusiast, or a Paralympian, none of us are just bystanders.On September 12, 2024, More Than Walking members were invited to participate in a roundtable discussion hosted by C4 quadriplegic and Hip Hop musician Corey “Pheez” Lee, and C7 quadriplegic and More Than Walking CEO Jonathan Sigworth.

In a 6-3 vote, the justices ruled that a sitting president can’t be criminally prosecuted for “official acts” done while in office. The court is divided on this historic topic, one justice who ruled in favor of the measure is quoted as saying to those who dissented “They strike a tone of chilling doom” while another who dissented said, “With fear for our democracy, I dissent”. Many have expressed concern that given this type of power, the executive branch could become an authoritarian regime with no checks and balances. What worries the disability community is where that leaves us. Our ability to exercise our right to freedom of speech, peacefully protest, and rock the vote is crucial - so how can we protect it?On August 8, 2024, More Than Walking members were invited to participate in a roundtable discussion on what happens to the disabled when democracy dies.

A new year is always an opportunity to start over, to try something new, and not repeat our previous mistakes. This may sound great to us as individuals, but even then some things never seem to change, no matter how great our intentions are. As a society, therefore, we should strive even harder to be better, as we face more complex issues that are even more difficult to resolve. On February 15, 2023, a shooting at El Paso Mall became the United States’ 67th mass shooting this year. That number is staggering! While many of us offer up thoughts and prayers, urge politicians to pass “common sense” gun laws, and support efforts to increase mental health resources, there is a dangerous potential for individuals with mental illness or cognitive disabilities to become the scapegoats of this complex issue. Let’s explore this topic together!

Mass media is constantly pumping through the conduits of almost every electronic device that we operate on a daily basis such that it can be hard to unplug ourselves and just digitally detox. Such an influx of information can be overwhelming and divisive as we try to make sense of the world around us. One troubling aspect of the media frenzy has been the trend of “Cancel Culture,” a form of ostracizing someone because of an offensive or insensitive statement or action they made. While there is nothing wrong with holding one accountable for what they say or do, in some cases we rush to judgment quickly before the facts are laid bare, which can cause irreversible damage to the targeted person’s career and life. How should we engage with and counter the adverse effects of this cultural phenomenon?
