The life and legacy of activist Ady Barkan | The Excerpt

20/12/23
USA TODAY

Ady Barkan was an American lawyer and a social justice activist. He was a powerful grassroots organizer who promoted policies that help America’s workers and was a champion of healthcare for all. Ady was an especially advocate for low-income, elderly and disabled populations. He ended up as a member of that last group after having been diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, in 2016. Sadly, Ady succumbed to the disease in November. But his life's work is memorialized in the documentary, "Not Going Quietly." Director Nick Bruckman joins The Excerpt to talk about Ady's impact and influence. #podcast #activism #disability
