About this Event
Disability affects all of us at some point in our lives. Many of us want to support the disabled people in around us, but we aren’t sure how to be helpful. As a follow-up to our previous Community Conversations on Gen Z, LGBTQ+, and Neurodiversity, we are inviting the community to a dialogue about disability justice and how we can be the change we would like to see in the world.
Disability justice is a way of working together to break down the unfair systems and social obstacles that prevent people with disabilities and other marginalized groups from fully joining in and getting what they need. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how different forms of discrimination overlap and prioritizes listening to and learning from those who have firsthand experience.
If you’ve ever wondered: “What are some societal factors that influence the way we view and treat people with disabilities?” or “What are some ways in which disability justice can apply to an aging population?”, this event is a trusted space for you to learn and discuss.
All attendees who attend these non-judgmental, candid conversations will receive an informational packet.
