Biden to address disability advocates in first major speech since leaving White House

"We are deeply honored President Biden is making his first public appearance at ACRD's sold-out conference," the group's executive director, Rachel Buck, said in a press release provided to Fox Digital. The conference will be held in Chicago. 

"As bipartisan leaders have long agreed, Americans who retire after paying into Social Security their whole lives deserve the vital support and caring services they receive. As a result, we are thrilled the President will be joining us to discuss how we can work together for a stable and successful future for Social Security."

ACRD is an advocacy organization that works to equip "disability professionals with the tools, technology, and training to lead the industry forward," according to its website. "Our mission is to empower and educate disability representatives by providing comprehensive training, fostering leadership skills, promoting technological proficiency, and offering valuable networking opportunities." 

Biden will headline the event, which will focus on strengthening Social Security, and will be joined by Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., former Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and former Democrat Maryland Gov. and Social Security Administrator Martin O'Malley, according to the press release.

"Social Security is a sacred promise between generations," O'Malley, who serves as chair of ACRD's Advisory Board, added in the press release. "It's a promise that ensures dignity in retirement, security after tragedy, and support for those with disabilities. We are deeply grateful to the President for joining us at ACRD to discuss how we can keep that promise for all Americans."

The Bidens have been spotted at various events since Trump's Inauguration Day, including attending the opening night of "Othello" on Broadway last month in New York City and traveling to Santa Barbara County, California, immediately following the end of his administration. 

Fox Digital reached out to Biden's office for additional comment on the matter but did not immediately receive a reply.
