About this event
We are excited to host a panel discussion on the intersectionality of disability and race. We feel both must be acknowledged and explicitly named to provide more equitable programs and services within our organization and throughout our communities.
Conversations will include:
- what is intersectionality, and what that means for disability
- how to recognize racist and ableist systems, and how to combat them
- how to talk about race with children of color with developmental disabilities
- ways for community leaders to support anti-racist and anti-ableist movements
Speakers:
