Friends For Life Podcast


Jan 16, 2025

In this episode of the Friends for Life Podcast, we dive into the transformative Think Differently Database Act, a groundbreaking new law signed by President Joe Biden. Tony Stuart joins us to discuss how this legislation will create a first-of-its-kind national clearinghouse for disability resources, empowering individuals with disabilities, their families, and caregivers. We explore what this means for access to essential services like Medicaid, mental health care, and community support, all searchable by zip code.

We also highlight the bipartisan effort behind this initiative, championed by leaders like former Rep. Marc Molinaro and Senators Eric Schmitt and Jon Ossoff, and what it signals for the future of disability advocacy. Tony shares insights into how this law, along with other recent measures to improve disaster relief and accessibility at federal buildings and Amtrak stations, represents a step toward fulfilling the promise of inclusion and equity for all.
