What We Do
Disability Justice is the work of many. Building from the work of SINS INVALID and many others we work to create a world where a body isn’t a logistical problem, a mind isn’t a burden and a human can be, no matter how they were born or who they became.

Inside/Outside Approach: Connection, Harm Reduction, Community Spaces
While continuing the work of systemic change Outside of systems (see our workshops and facilitation work) there is a real and immediate need in the community for harm reduction, connection and community joy. That is why the [Untitled] Disability Justice Project focuses on opening space and opportunities for community, connection, joy, and meeting our basic, usually unmet in these harmful systems we live in, needs.
For more information on our harm-reduction-centered Inside approach including facilitation, workshop, training for organization, please click here.
Most Disability Justice Programming is virtual - using the Zoom platform. ASL and CART or Captioning is always provided at all virtual UPRISE events. For any in-person event, masks are required.
