Disability Justice requires that we unpack and address ableism in all the ways it shows up, whether that is towards ourselves, in our relationships, in our institutions, and/or in society. #DanceForAllAbilities #RepresentationMatters #DisabilityJustice #BlackDisability #DisabilityCommunity #DisabilityInclusion #BlackAndDisabled #DisabilityPride #Ableism . . .

" Below are four peach and white text boxes labeled "A,B,C, D. Black text options in order read "Ignoring the needs and experiences of disabled individuals," "Advocating for policies that perpetuate discrimination against people with disabilities," "Confronting internalized ableism, interpersonal ableism, and systemic ableism to shift how society holds disabled people." "Promoting stereotypes and misconceptions about disability." Below there is a peach speech bubble and next to it in all caps in white reads, "COMMENT BELOW."

A core tenet of the modern disability rights movement is that disability can be understood not as an individual deficit but as a social failure. On creating ever-expanding networks to challenge discrimination: https://lnkd.in/ehsAQBHs

Privilege absolutely exists within the disability community and there are absolutely disabled people of privilege. How does privilege show up? - Only inviting white disabled people to speak at conferences, on panels, and at events. - Setting the attendance fee at disability conferences and events extortionately high. - Refusing to take up an intersectional approach to advocacy. - Lack of accessibility to diagnoses for disabled people of colour. - Invalidation and dismissal of the experiences of global majority members. - The lack of representation in pop culture and media of disabled global majority members. - Erasure of the existence of global majority members through the failure to amplify their voices and provide a platform for them to share their stories. - Failure to hold disabled racists accountable and/or excusing racist behaviour or words by members of the disability community. - The partial or full denial that privilege exists within the disabled community. Each of these actions directly hurt disabled people of colour by showing that some disabled people are more equal than others. Disability advocacy should be about the full inclusion of ALL disabled people, including multiply marginalised individuals. #autism #adhd #neurodiversity #education #employment #disability #advocacy #inclusion #dei #intersectionality #communication #stigma #bias #ableism #culture #accommodations #pride #hr #discrimination #systems #accessibility #privilege
