[UN] Titled Disability Justice Project

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.

10 Principles of Disability Justice — Sins Invalid

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.

A Note about Direct Service: 

Sometimes we get inquiries from community members who are struggling to get their real-time needs met. While we don't provide direct service in that way, we continually work to update this list of resources that you can click on below. The list is broken down into the following categories: 
  • Disability Equipment
  • PDX Area Resources
  • Harm Reduction
  • Multnomah County Library Readings
  • Borderless Resources
  • Readings Online
​We lack vital basic needs as Disabled People under capitalism. This list is no substitute for the fundamental systemic shifts that must be made for us to be able to live the lives we deserve. As we work toward collective liberation, we also recognize the importance of resources to support our daily survival. We have put this list together to help folks connect with the services and supplies they need. This is an evolving document that is supported and updated by community and the UPRISE team as capacity allows.
