The Ruderman Family Foundation is a private philanthropic foundation established in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, managed by the Ruderman family. The foundation operates in the United States and in Israel in two main areas: inclusion of people with disabilities in society and strengthening the relationship between Israel and the American Jewish community with the help of strategic philanthropy.

History

The Ruderman Family Foundation was established in 2002. Jay Ruderman is the president of the foundation, and his wife Shira is its executive director.[1]

White papers

In March 2016, the Ruderman Family Foundation released its first white paper[2] – a 2-year overview (2013–2015) of media coverage of law enforcement's use of force against disabled individuals with the goal of creating public awareness of the battle for inclusion and equality of people with disabilities. The study was authored by David M. Perry, a disability rights journalist and Associate Professor of History at Dominican University, and Lawrence Carter-Long, an authority on media representation of disability. It concluded that disabled individuals make up a third to half of individuals killed by law enforcement officers and the majority in use-of-force cases such as Eric Garner, Kajieme Powell, Tanesha Anderson, Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland. This was true both for cases deemed illegal or against policy and for those in which officers were fully exonerated. The authors argue that the media ignored the disability component or reported them in ways that intensified stigma and ableism. The study was covered by media outlets including NBC News,[3] Al Jazeera,[4] Russia Today,[5] International Business Times[6] and New York Magazine.[7]

A second white paper[8] released by the foundation in July 2016 revealed that people with disabilities are the most unrepresented minority in Hollywood. Despite making up nearly 20% of the US population, 95% of disabled characters on TV are portrayed by able-bodied actors. The report, co-authored by actor Danny Woodburn, one of the most recognizable actors with a disability known for his role as Mickey on Seinfeld, and Kristina Kopić, the foundation's Advocacy Content Specialist, surveyed hundreds of actors with visible and non-visible disabilities. Most worked less than once a year and felt they were discriminated against by casting agents and producers. Ruderman and Woodburn co-authored an op-ed[9] in the Los Angeles Times discussing the issue, and the findings of the report were published in The Washington Post,[10] Mic,[11] Variety,[12] Yahoo News, Chicago Tribune, The Columbus Dispatch, Philly.com, IndieWire,[13] IMDB, Vulture[14] MXDWN.com[15] and Teen Vogue.[16]

Prior to the 2016 US presidential election, the foundation released its third white paper,[17] on voting accessibility for people with disabilities. The Government Accountability Office reported that in 2008, 73% of polling places had some potential accessibility barrier, while a Rutgers and Syracuse study determined that if voters with disabilities voted at the same rate as voters with the same demographics, but without disabilities, three million more people would have voted in the 2012 US presidential election. Co-written by Norman Ornstein, a political scientist at the American Enterprise Institute, the analysis focused on: insufficient poll worker training; access barriers to polls (including publicly available transportation); access barriers to elections material and registration material prior to elections; stigma (including against developmental and psychiatric disabilities); and limitations on resources available to election officials. The study was featured on Fox News[18] and covered by The Guardian[19] and Mic.[20]

In January 2017, a fourth white paper was released about the benefits of self-driving cars for people with disabilities. Written with Securing America's Future Energy (SAFE), the report concluded that autonomous vehicles could enable new employment opportunities for approximately two million people with disabilities, save $19 billion annually in healthcare expenditures, and provide $1.3 trillion in savings from productivity gains, fuel costs and accident prevention. Furthermore, the report emphasized the societal benefit for people with disabilities by allowing more individuals to fulfill civic responsibilities and exercise civil rights, as well as the impact people with disabilities can have in the legislative and regulatory discussions surrounding emerging transportation technologies. The piece was featured in a number of outlets including Metro,[21] Boston Herald,[22] Autotrader,[23] Curbed[24] and Futurism.[25]

On March 1, the National Disability Day of Mourning, an event collaboratively created by the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) to commemorate people with disabilities killed by their caregivers, the Ruderman Family Foundation released a white paper on the media coverage of such murders. This study was again authored by David M. Perry, in collaboration with the Foundation and several self-advocates, including Zoe Gross from ASAN. The study found that at least one such murder takes place in North America a week, and that the media coverage often erases the victims while sympathizing with the killers.[26]

A white paper released in August 2017 stated that people with non-apparent disabilities do not always receive the accommodations guaranteed to them under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students with non-apparent disabilities were said to be suspended and criminalized at a disproportionately high rates, while over half of the incarcerated population of the United States suffered from mental illness. Another 19-31% had cognitive or learning disabilities.[27][28][29]

In September 2017, the Foundation launched the Ruderman TV Challenge, a call-to-action follow up to the Ruderman White Paper on the Employment of Actors with Disabilities in Television. It was found that only 2% of all television characters compared to the 20% of the US population is disabled, and that 95% of top TV show characters with disabilities are played by non-disabled performers. The challenge called for the creators of scripted television pilots to audition and cast more performers with disabilities.[30][31][32][33][34][35]

In April 2017, the Ruderman White Paper "Mental Health and Suicide of First Responders" examined mental health issues among first responders and their elevated rate of suicide. One study found that on average, police officers witness 188 critical incidents during their careers which can lead to mental illness. The paper lays out barriers that prevent first responders from accessing mental health services when coping with trauma.[36][37][38][39][40][41][42]

Released in December 2018, this paper investigates the practice of imposing leaves of absence on students experiencing mental illness. The study grades the leave of absence policies of eight universities, none of which received higher than a D+. The paper also covered ethnographic aspects of the problem.[43][44][45]

Link20

Starting in 2016, the foundation created a network of young self advocates and young leaders without disabilities called Link20. The goal is to create networks that can rapidly respond to any challenges the disability community identifies or faces. In March 2017, Link20 released a well-received, collaborative video aimed at changing social attitudes toward people with disabilities.[46] Individuals that have supported the function include Dwayne Johnson.[47]

Disability Inclusion

On November 1, 2016, the foundation put together the Ruderman Studio-Wide Roundtable on Disability Inclusion, bringing together experts from the film and television industry to discuss the need for disability diversity in all aspects of the production process. The panelists, which included Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin, Speechless creator Scott Silveri, Speechless star Micah Fowler, Seinfeld's Danny Woodburn, Mad TV's Orlando Jones, and Walking Dead producer Glen Mazzara, highlighted successful examples and offered best practices in the quest to reach wider audiences and achieve greater authenticity through disability inclusion. The event received extensive coverage for its groundbreaking effort, being featured in the Los Angeles Times,[48] BuzzFeed,[49] Yahoo!,[50] Nonprofit Quarterly[51] and The Mighty.[52]

Ruderman Prize in Inclusion

In 2012, the Ruderman Family Foundation launched the annual Ruderman Prize In Inclusion[53] - an international $250,000 prize awarded annually to five companies and organizations operating innovative services that foster the full inclusion of people with disabilities. The award spotlights the work being done and the models that can be replicated across the world. Thirty $50,000 prizes have been given out to date and past winners include organizations in Russia, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay, Germany, Mexico, Israel, South Africa, Canada and Argentina.

Morton E. Ruderman Award in Inclusion

The foundation has awarded the M.E.R. Award in Inclusion annually since 2013 to an individual who demonstrates outstanding accomplishment in the field of disability inclusion. In 2013, the award was given to Michale Stein, co-founder and Executive Director of the Harvard Law School Project on Disability. In 2014, it was given to Ari Ne'eman, President and co-founder of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. In 2015, the recipient was Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa, retired), a write of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In 2017 the winner was Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin.[54] The 2019 recipient of the award was Olympic champion Michael Phelps, for sharing his mental health journey.[55] The 2020 awardees will be filmmakers Peter and Bobby Farrell for their inclusive and accurate depictions of people with disabilities. [56]

Controversy

In response to the release of the 2016 film Me Before You, the Foundation condemned the film's portrayal of disability, in which the protagonist—who is paralyzed—ends up committing suicide because he feels his life is not worth living: "To the millions of people with significant disabilities currently leading fulfilling, rich lives, [the film] posits that they are better off committing suicide."[57][58]

In the wake of pressure from Poland, the Foundation removed a video from YouTube posted on February 21, 2018 that was part of a campaign urging the United States to suspend its ties with Poland over the law that criminalizes blaming the Polish nation or state for German Nazi crimes.[59] The Foundation released a statement saying that "after a hugely successful campaign that went viral internationally and among American Jews and Israelis who have signed the petition — the Foundation was contacted by the Polish Jewish community and because of their concerns for their safety, we decided to halt the campaign."[60] The video was condemned by Jewish communities in Poland for using the phrase "Polish Holocaust," which was deemed false and hurtful,[61] as well as by the Israeli Embassy in Poland.[62]
