COMPANY/PUBLICATION: VOICES OF DISABILITY ECONOMIC JUSTICE PROJECT

We know the holiday season can usher in financial stress alongside festivity and joy—especially for disabled people. So, let's talk about it. Send your pitches to the Voices of Disability Economic Justice project: https://tcf.org/disability-economic-justice-collaborative/voices-of-disability-economic-justice/ Payment for published pieces is $500.

Looking for topic ideas? Here are a couple to get you started:

• Holiday travel is happening, but what are the costs of having mobility equipment broken in transit?
• Navigating expenses of holiday celebrations while on fixed income from benefits

What story do you want to tell?

Open to international writers? Yes, so as long as the piece has a connection to economic issues relevant to the U.S.
