Mission: Family Member MissionFamily Member works to ensure that all people living with special needs and disabilities are represented fairly and accurately in news, entertainment and social media. Our mission is to erase the negative stereotypes about disability that exist today, starting with language. We work to educate people that it is not acceptable to use slurs like the r-word that marginalize and make a mockery of the disability community. Words have power and can hurt others. We are not suffering with our disability, we are living. We make it our mission that your family member will not be denigrated based on their disability.
