On Friday, December 26, 2025, our movement lost a powerful leader, and many of us lost a dear colleague and friend. Bob Kafka, a longtime organizer with the disability civil rights protest group, ADAPT, the founder of AAPD’s REV UP campaign, and a co-lead of REV UP Texas, passed away at his home in Austin, Texas.

Bob was driven by the conviction that disabled people deserve freedom, choice, dignity, and power. His ideals were not just dreams; they were a mandate, a directive that guided his life. From being arrested more than 30 times while fighting for various pieces of landmark legislation to negotiating with government officials, he never stopped living his values and fighting for our community.

We strongly encourage you to read AAPD's full tribute to Bob Kafka, written by Director of Accessible Democracy Alexia Kemerling: https://www.aapd.com/aapd-remembers-bob-kafka/
