I learned so much from this! Such an accessible, compelling and holistic intro to disability justice, clearly written and compiled with deep care and love by people with lived experience of these issues

Primer is the perfect word! Easy to understand, totally accessible to read and comprehend, and written with so much care and compassion. Would highly recommend this to anyone who is curious about Disability Justice, or wants to center accessibility in their justice work but doesn't know where to start.

Reading this in a disability group and it's pragmatic and a great conversation-starter!

Provides a helpful disability justice framework, including a much appreciated intro (intro to me, at least) on the difference between deafness (being medically deaf or hard of hearing) and Deafness (being part of the Deaf community).

An introduction and history of Sins Invalid’s Disability Justice work, art, and thought leadership, formatted as a primer for political education and implementation. Provides an excellent overview of the Disability Justice framework, its divergence from Disability Rights / Access, and its possibilities for movement building. Includes useful accessibility tools for planning. I appreciated the emphasis and attention to mixed ability organizing and the nuances presented in the section on audism and D/deaf culture and community. Most of the writing and work is rooted in Sins Invalid’s Bay Area home base though some of the framework and theory remains applicable regardless of geography. Highly recommended for those new to and/or curious about Disability Justice (especially those familiar with Disability Rights & Access), disabled folks who want a deeper political understanding of their lived experiences, and organizers who need to address how ableism may be perpetuated through their work.
