About the Event

Join us to dive into a brief overview of Disability in America, deconstructing the white, ableist power structures that have long suppressed the Disabled BIPOC community from accessing services needed to thrive in a capitalist society.

This 90 minute workshop will explore the DPN movement and Gallaudet's contribution to the Deaf community throughout history, and touch on the ADA and the toll it took on all disabled peoples. There will also be discussion on the reclamation of power in words and identity as well as a Q&A at the end of the session.

This event will be ASL accessible with an ASL interpreter and live captioning.
