Organizer: Disability & Philanthropy Forum
Racial equity is impossible without disability justice, rights, and inclusion. And with at least 1 in 4 Black people in the U.S. living with a disability, disability justice requires Black disabled leadership. As we witness rollbacks in both legislative protections and organizational commitments to DEI, racial justice, and disability inclusion, philanthropy must take action to fund Black disabled communities. Join the Disability and Philanthropy Forum for a discussion with Black disabled leaders on how philanthropy can support Black disabled communities.
This webinar will cover topics including: the intersections of anti-Blackness and ableism, how anti-Blackness is disabling and increases risk for Black people with disabilities, and why disability justice and Black liberation must be joint movements.
