Calling Up Justice!

We are busy producing, collaborating, and preparing for our interns!  May is more than ½ way gone and we are getting ready to kick Accessible Virtual Pride planning into gear! We have essays, event reports, and new programing like Shorty Talk on substack and livestreams with Maiamama.  One Free Community has developed and implemented Platform Hide & Seek as we work to keep our communities safer. While we are leaving discord we are still producing events and collaborations with other Disability Justice Orgs. Claudia & Jesenia were invited to speak at the UC Berkley Neurodiversity Symposium. Ry help produce a viewing of MouthWater Cabaret in GatherTown with an impactful artist talk back! GJ collected and shared resources and links to share with our community. Read about all of these and join us in continuing to create disability justice transmedia for our communities!
