Combating Ableism and Centering Disability Justice
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the passage of the American with Disabilities Act and in July we celebrated Disability Pride Month. As the pandemic continues to have disproportionate impact on people of color and those with disabilities, it is critical that we have ongoing conversations about combating ableism and centering disability justice in this moment and in our movements. We hosted a conversation with organizers and leaders who spoke from their own experiences and laid the groundwork for a path towards liberation that centers those directly impacted.
