Disabled people face the disproportionate impact of policy choices that have kept our community in poverty, struggling for access to health care, and trying to survive without basic support systems in place. Further, there is a care crisis in the United States, with more than 650,000 people on waiting lists for home and community-based services, many of them forced into nursing homes and institutions while they wait. There is hope though, and the path to liberation for disabled people comes from being unapologetically interdependent. This presentation will demonstrate how interdependence is the path forward – that when we focus more on how we help each other rather than rely on systems that keep us oppressed, liberation and justice for our community is within reach. This is supported by data and research that demonstrates the greater social impact of interdependence when compared to reliance on government, policy, etc. The call to action for attendees will be to focus on community solutions to our greatest problems, like building coalitions, forming mutual aid groups, and more, and they will leave with a clear direction for constructing a better future for disabled people.
