It's a social and economic imperative.

Treating all people the same way is the right thing to do It is important for people and for businesses.

Similarly, including people with disabilities in employment is about more than just equality. It's good business sense and beneficial for a company's success.

This is true also for people with disabilities. People with disabilities should have access to jobs, it is the right thing to do, and it is also good for the company where they work.

Equality is coming, but we can't just wait more than 100 years to realize gender parity in the C-suite and more than 257 years to close the gender pay gap.

Equality for people with disabilities will come. But we don’t want to wait for so many years like women waited. Women waited many years to have good jobs and get paid the same as man.

Nor can we wait for equality, access, and inclusion for all as we push forward our message.

We don’t want to wait for all people to be treated equally and be included.
