Centering Disability in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We view disability as a vital part of diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where all perspectives are welcomed and respected.

Recognizing the disproportionate impact of disability rights violations on Black, brown, and Indigenous communities, we prioritize elevating the voices of cross-disability and cross-movement advocates. Through listening, honoring, and amplifying these voices, we aim to build a space where everyone feels valued and empowered.
