No one likes to think of himself or herself as “oppressed,” yet true empowerment comes from:
1. Identifying outside forces that have affected your life through no fault of your own
2. Taking personal responsibility for your choices
Stay tuned for the next Disability Liberation Workshop!
We all have stereotypes about disability. Many people without disabilities live in fear of becoming disabled. Allies want to help. First, we must identify what “ableism” looks like, and then we can work to eliminate it.
Workshop goals:
• Identify sources and signs of ableism – What’s in a name?
• Identify how ableism gets internalized and holds people with disabilities back
• Explore how embracing liberation can lead to empowerment and action in your life
