There is a systemic problem where the lives of people unable to work through no fault of their own are valued less than those who can work.

Good point. So it’s more akin to saying “black men’s lives matter” then. Both are oppressed groups, one more than the other, but why dice it up like that?
I think the answer in this case is that the solutions are different. One is about improving disability and healthcare, one is about minimum wage. But they didn’t make it nearly clear enough that they would improve disability. They only focus on the minimum wage message.
