Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, which helps attorneys and others who work to protect the legal rights of people who experience mental disabilities. In some cases, the center will also represent individuals in court who face discrimination or a denial of needed services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lichtenberg earned the opportunity through the <a href=\"https:\/\/twc.edu\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/twc.edu\/\">Washington Center<\/a>, a group that\u202funites\u202fcollege students with a variety of nonprofit organizations in the nation\u2019s capital. As a strategic communications intern, he backed the Bazelon Center\u2019s efforts by planning and drafting many of its social media posts and strategies. His drafts, which would get approved by a policy or legal director, touted events such as a virtual awards ceremony highlighting the center\u2019s 49th year. That event featured figures such as singer John Legend and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. He also attended a virtual briefing on infrastructure with U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, and separately met some well-known people, even if only virtually in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI attended a congressional briefing,\u201d he said. \u201cI walked to the Supreme Court once and Representative Ilhan Omar was speaking about court reform there. I also met a lot of newscasters. We have a pretty strong relationship with PBS and I got to meet Judy Woodruff and a couple other PBS reporters at an afterparty for our award ceremony.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another event he covered through social media was a live YouTube discussion concerning the use of student resource officers in schools and how some officers have mistreated students of color and students who have disabilities. In a social campaign, however, the Bazelon Center more directly targeted publicity regarding an active case, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.disabilityscoop.com\/2021\/11\/12\/cvs-drops-supreme-court-case-over-disability-community-concerns\/29593\/\">CVS Pharmacy Inc. v. Doe<\/a>, in cooperation with other disability and civil-rights groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the end of my time, we actually won that Supreme Court case and social media was essential to it,\u201d Lichtenberg said. \u201cIt involved CVS and a group of people with HIV who argued that they were receiving different treatment based on their condition. CVS was trying to say that if it\u2019s unintentional discrimination, then Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 doesn\u2019t apply.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a civil-rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA ruling like that would\u2019ve been catastrophic for disability rights,\u201d Lichtenberg said. \u201cEssentially, if that were in place, the person who didn&#8217;t have full use of their legs, for example, wouldn&#8217;t have a legal recourse if someone built a building that could only be accessed by stairs. \u201cOur social media campaign pressured CVS into withdrawing the case and commit to find a solution which respects the rights of people with disabilities, which is pretty unheard of for such a big company.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lichtenberg is returning to K\u2019s campus for winter, where he served last spring as a teacher\u2019s assistant for a logic and reasoning philosophy class that includes an independent study requirement. For that, he wanted to figure out how someone might codify a version of Star Trek\u2019s Prime Directive, a guiding principle that prohibits Starfleet members from interfering with the natural development of alien civilizations while protecting unprepared civilizations from receiving advanced technology, knowledge and values before they\u2019re ready for it. For now, however, he will reflect on an overwhelmingly positive experience in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI find it amazing that there are only about seven people who work for the Bazelon Center,\u201d Lichtenberg said. \u201cIt\u2019s incredible that they\u2019re able to manage the cases they do. It was a real honor to work for them and I\u2019m excited to apply what I\u2019ve learned to my classes in a new context.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a strategic communications intern, Thomas Lichtenberg backed the Bazelon Center\u2019s efforts by planning and drafting social media posts and strategies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":15549,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[231],"tags":[51,114,96],"post_formats":[],"class_list":["post-15547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-students","tag-math","tag-philosophy","tag-political-science"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
