Beyond Consent: Disability Justice and Anti-Violence
January 25, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Free
*Please note this event starts at 12 pm CST*
Join us for the first installment of our “Beyond Consent” Speakers Series in 2023!
Each month, this series hosts grassroots activists and allies in the anti-violence movements in order to train, educate, and inspire a new generation of leaders, communities, and organizations in the fight to end violence.
This month’s discussion focuses on the intersections of disability justice and anti-violence organizing. People with disabilities face disproportionate rates of sexual violence compared to non-disabled people. Despite this, anti-violence organizing can be inaccessible and exclusionary to survivors, advocates, and allies with disabilities. This begs the question – how can we work to make anti-violence work more accessible, as well as integrate disabled perspectives into our advocacy and community care?
