Washington, D.C. Today, the Center for American Progress announced that Mia Ives-Rublee will be the next director of its Disability Justice Initiative (DJI), taking over for Founding Director Rebecca Cokley. Launched in 2018, the DJI is a first-of-its-kind think tank program, which applies disability as a lens across policy issues, centering wholeness, intersectionality, and inclusivity. The DJI works to ensure that both policymakers and the progressive community understand that disability issues do not exist in a silo but are part of the broader set of issues progressives fight for every day.
