Watch our video below of DRNC’s Virginia Knowlton Marcus interviewing NDRN’s Marlene Sallo at the 2023 Disability Advocacy Conference.
Marlene Sallo is recognized as the first woman, first Latina, and first person with a disability appointed as Executive Director to lead the National Disability Rights Network (NDRN). She believes that amplifying where disability intersects with other identities such as LGBTQIA+, non-native English speakers, and Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color is critical component of successful advocacy.
