Tova Perlmutter (she/her), Special Projects Consultant at Detroit Disability Power (DDP), has over 30 years of experience helping progressive initiatives obtain and use resources to advance social change. In 2020, she managed DDP’s get-out-the-vote campaign, leading a diverse team of 11 disabled and non-disabled people who reached over a quarter of a million voters in Southeast Michigan. Before that, she was part of the leadership team at nonprofit media outlet Mondoweiss.net and served as Executive Director of the Sugar Law Center for Economic and Social Justice, a Detroit-based national nonprofit dedicated to advancing the rights of working people and their communities. Tova’s work with DDP has been healing and awakening, as she has learned to recognize and draw on her own experience as a disabled person.
