SUMMARY:Beyond “Etiquette” & Towards Equity: Radical Disability Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: TUE. 6/7/22 \n2020 changed us\, no doubt. But\, what many marginalized people — including people with disabilities — are doubtful of\, is whether or not reckonings about access and inclusion are here to stay. Even though some organizations are beginning to ask long-overdue questions of accessibility that start to move beyond ramps and elevators\, still in 2021\, even equity-minded organizations continue to lag behind in disability inclusion. \nPeople with disabilities make up one of the most inherently intersectional identity groups\, but non-disabled people still primarily frame conversations about disability as “etiquette\,” instead of “equity.” Now is our time to prove we are willing to do what it takes to focus our imagination on shifting power. Join us to move beyond basic terminology and etiquette by centering an equity and disability rights lens to address real and systemic gaps in access for people with disabilities in workplaces and communities more broadly.
