Collective reflections on (dis)ability solidarity

Understanding the relationship between ableism and racism

This workshop explores how ableism and racism shape, reinforce and influence each other. Unfortunately, ableism is often forgotten in anti-racism activism, causing disabled Black, Indigenous and people of color to be forgotten as well. This also prevents us from fully resisting racism, because we then perpetuate harmful ideas about our bodyminds. Together we will work to gain a better understanding of the relationship between ableism and racism. We will discuss solutions, figure out how to create awareness, and integrate anti-ableism into our anti-racism efforts. NOTE: FFP2 masks will be provided and strongly recommended. We also ask you to please test for COVID-19 before entering our space, and to stay home if you have symptoms.
