Stacey Abrams believes that Georgia bears a special responsibility to our seniors and citizens with disabilities. A truly inclusive Georgia is one where all our Georgians can meet their healthcare needs, age in place, and easily access transport to get where they need to go. Stacey is committed to ensuring that our seniors and Georgians with disabilities can not only thrive in our communities, but also access the same resources and quality of life as any other Georgians.

- Strengthen the state’s commitment to the Aging and Disability Resource Centers and home and community-based services
- Increase access to transportation
- Support caregivers and promote Alzheimer’s research and awareness
- Support Employment First strategies for Georgians with disabilities who want to work
- Prioritize inclusive educational supports and opportunities from cradle to career
