  • Nothing Without Us: Anti-Ableist Cultural Practices Now!

    This screenshot from the website of CCCBLab shows the opening paragraph of the article in a pink font on a white background. The text reads: 'We are not here to tell you how to make X more accessible. We are not asking for [boxes to be checked] crumbs – we are asking for a culture shift and for long-held assumptions to crumble. We are asking for access, but more than that, we are calling for anti-ableism to be put into practice(s). Anti-ableism unmakes ableism, a form of oppression that hierarchizes people and practices in terms of ability, and is interwoven with racism, anti-queer sentiment, colonial disposession, classism, and other forms of structural oppression.'
