This Disability Justice “unconference” aims to honour the International Day of People with Disabilities by providing space for activists, community members, academics, and service providers from across the province to gather for discussion around the future of the disability justice movement in Canada. Youth from across the province will run workshops on various topics relating but not limited to:
Disability history, pride, art, sexuality, global disability justice issues, inaccessibility, police brutality, coercion, poverty, ongoing eugenic practices, community building, friendship, care networks, interdependence, activism, peer research, Disability studies, Mad studies, political involvement, citizenship, rights, policy and law, consent, autonomy, skill sharing, experiential learning, storytelling, and love!
Are you a person who experiences disability, disablement, chronic illness, madness, trauma, and/or addiction?
Do you belong to a Disability, Deaf, and/or Mad community?
Are you an ally working in solidarity with disabled, Deaf, and/or Mad people or communities?
Do you want to gather with other disability activists and allies to build the momentum of disability justice organizing in Hamilton?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, this "unconference" is for you!
