Disability Rights, and Wrongs: The David Lepodcast

How to get a Politician's Attention - With Former Premiere of Ontario, Kathleen Wynne

But what does our labour and messaging look like from the other side of the desk? Today, we share a conversation David had with former premiere of Ontario, Kathleen Wynne about what we can do to get into the busy agendas of people in high level positions.
