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.

We are strongly rooted in supporting the advancement of liberation in Sick and Disabled Communities. Some of our growing programming includes;

• Community Building: Monthly Coffee Hours
• Community Education: Training, consultation, and quarterly Demystifying Disability   Speaker Series
• DEP3: Emergency Preparedness Programming and community support

Rewakening and Reimagining is about owning our own narrative and defining what our futures look like as BIPOC communities. Space created to share knowledge, lived experience, history and the dreamscape for what is to come.  A place where we honor our ancestors, step into the power of the ancestors we will be and uplift generational wisdom. Some of the growing community programming includes;

• Nothing About Us Without Us: Civic Engagement Series
• Community Conversations: Building Capacity Across Identities
• The Selah Series: Creation Stories, Healing Stories, and Resistance Stories
• UPRISE Book Club: A quarterly book club centered around Black and Indigenous Books and Authors.

Many Black and Indigenous cultures are guided and look to the impact our choices have on generations to come, some as far as 7 generations into the future.  Some also believe that our children come through you but are not yours. Meaning they have their own spirits and purpose on their journey of life. Our place as parents and community members is to keep them safe, honest, and guide them to being a responsible, respectful adult.  The rest may belong to them. That being said, youth belong in conversations about liberation, and for KidsRise, we join conversations about liberation with art!  Art helps us to communicate and emit feelings, beliefs, shows representation and can create a visual voice in movement spaces. Kids Rise works with local artists that submit content responding to prompts around what liberation looks like in youth spaces.

A way to support community members with targeted identities who embody resistance in change spaces. This growing community programming includes;

• Care Kits: Mailed packages for folks who are doing the hard work of supporting our communities in reaching liberation.
• Meals for Organizers: Paying to feed the people doing social change work. 
• PCEF “Liberation Garden” Project: A community based participatory process for building an accessible framework for accessible growing spaces and food sovereignty practices.
