No Justice without Disability and Language Justice

While many municipalities have a racial equity offce, an immigrant affairs office, or an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) coordinator, these o ces and approaches are often siloed. But what if our solutions were intersectional? What if our racial justice efforts explicitly included queer folks, those who prefer a language other than English, and Disabled people? Attendees of this session will learn about the principles of Disability Justice as a framework for collective liberation. Participants will examine their racial justice efforts and explore tangible strategies for movement building that transform our institutions.
