Objective: Showcase the many ways technology empowers people of varying levels of ability.

Rationale: Video and other forms of new media provide a rich palette for storytelling. Using the power of images and video to tell our stories provides an emotional connection that is not available with other forms. We can use that connection to build community and start a movement that changes the face of disability in our communities.

Call to Action: Create a video, sound recording or other form of digital media, post it online and use the hashtag #iAmMorePowerfulThanYouThink.
