About the Discussion:
Increasing awareness of ableism and racism as systemic, and institutionally connected, poses new questions for policymakers and advocates. During the COVID pandemic, calls for accountability and interdependence met with varied responses, particularly in political and movement dialogues. This panel will raise connections and future paths among disability justice, abolition, and racial justice.

Live transcriptions and ASL interpretation will be provided.
