Sandra Schnur

Sandra Schnur was a pioneering disability activist in New York, whose work laid the groundwork for more inclusive and accessible communities. Driven by her own experiences and those of others living with disabilities, Schnur championed the rights of disabled individuals, advocating for equal access to public spaces, education, and employment. Her efforts were instrumental in raising awareness about the barriers faced by people with disabilities and in pushing for legislative and societal changes to overcome these obstacles. Schnur’s activism was not just about advocating for rights; it was about fostering a society that values empathy, compassion, and the recognition of every person’s potential to contribute.
