Disability Justice and Allyship

What is Disability Justice?

Disability justice is a framework that examines the intersection of disability and other forms of oppression, such as race, gender, and class. It goes beyond the traditional disability rights movement by emphasizing collective liberation and the need for systematic change. The term was coined by disability activists of color, including Patty Berne and Mia Mingus, in response to the limitations of the disability rights movement.
