To achieve equity and justice, it’s critical to recognize how intersecting forms of oppression harm multiply marginalized populations. Disability & Philanthropy Forum hosted a webinar at the beginning of 2023 to uplift the stories and experiences of disabled people of color, underscoring how important it is for grant makers to examine issues through both the lenses of race and disability. In 2024, it will be critical to continue taking an intersectional approach to addressing the needs of communities in Southwestern PA. Check out the webinar below: https://lnkd.in/ggTfNWAK #Philanthropy #RacialJustice #DisabilityJustice #Intersectionality Image Description: Graphic advertising Disability and Philanthropy Forum webinar from March 23, 2023.

Over a third of LGBTQIA+ folks identify as disabled, yet conversations regarding drug use are often devoid of their lived and living experiences. During #DisabilityPrideMonth, it’s crucial to represent and explore the myriad reasons why disabled people use drugs. Whether it’s managing pain, seeking pleasure, navigating an increasingly hostile world, or just because – every reason is valid. How does your organization or group interact with disabled folks? How do you honor their relationship to use in a way that respects their autonomy? Or, simply put, what do disabled folks need? We should ask these questions if we’re serious about serving these communities. P.S. Put your damn masks on. We can’t talk about this month and continue contributing to a mass-disabling event. Video description in comments.

Disability intersects every demographic group—there are people with disabilities of all ages, races, genders or national origin. And disabilities can impact a person in a variety of ways—both visible and invisible. For people with disabilities and their families, it is important to consider individual circumstances and needs to effectively prepare for emergencies and disasters. Here is a video from FEMA about preparedness for someone in a wheelchair. https://lnkd.in/g4hJSS2M

🌞 July is Disability Awareness Month, and I'm always reminded of the same sentiment, put beautifully in this quote by Disability Rights Activist Judith Heumann: "Our parents’ generation associated disability with President Franklin Roosevelt, who actively hid from the public his paralysis from polio. He never allowed himself to be photographed in his wheelchair or being helped with his mobility. He talked about disability as something for an individual to beat or conquer...We were beginning to see our lack of access as a problem with society, rather than our individual problem" We are working our way towards a world where individuals can live a meaningful and impactful life not because of, nor in spite of, but just with, disabilities. Discrimination protection and community access regulations have gone far to allow individuals with disabilities (IWD) - both visible and invisible - to participate in society, but we are still a long way from thriving. IWD continue to be highly impacted by houselessness, poverty, access to healthcare limitations, and food scarcity. All this is why as an IWD, my mobility aids are bright colors, though they do clash with everything. Why I wear them on the outside of my clothes when they could be concealed. Because representation matters, and it provides a valuable platform for fighting for the rights of those that come in our wake. https://lnkd.in/gcPGEQ-A #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityPride #DisabilityVisibility
