Black Disabled Leadership: Essential Yet Overlooked
Program Details
Racial equity is impossible without disability justice, rights, and inclusion. And with at least 1 in 4 Black people in the U.S. living with a disability, disability justice requires Black disabled leadership. As we witness rollbacks in both legislative protections and organizational commitments to DEI, racial justice, and disability inclusion, philanthropy must take action to fund Black disabled communities. Join us for a discussion with Black disabled leaders on how philanthropy can support Black disabled communities.
This webinar will cover topics including:
- the intersections of anti-Blackness and ableism,
- how anti-Blackness is disabling and increases risk for Black people with disabilities, and
- why disability justice and Black liberation must be joint movements.
CART and ASL interpretation will be provided. If you require another accommodation to fully participate in the webinar, please note it in your registration, or contact us at communications@disabilityphilanthropy.org. This free webinar is presented by the Disability & Philanthropy Forum. While the learnings for this webinar are primarily targeted to funders, grantmakers, and philanthropy-serving organizations who are just getting started in learning more about the intersections of disability justice and Black liberation, this session is open to the public, and anyone can register to attend.
