Posted @withregram • @awn_network On Wed, April 28 at 5pm ET, join AWN for a discussion with Nassira D. Nicola and Emily M. Lund on disability justice and public health for our #LiberatingWebinars series Register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/health-justice-is-disability-justice-disability-and-public-health-tickets-149983281031?aff=erelpanelorg The COVID-19 pandemic helps reveal ableism in our laws, policies, and practices through health care rationing proposals, disastrous vaccine rollouts, and relief measures that have failed to assist disabled people impacted by loss of personal attendant care, forced to work in high-risk jobs, and disproportionately more likely to experience homelessness, domestic violence, and food insecurity. What do disabled advocates, scholars, and policy experts have to offer public health research, policy, and advocacy? How can disabled people’s knowledge, wisdom, and offerings disrupt and end unjust and inequitable pandemic policies and practices? #LiberatingWebinars #healthjustice #wellness #disabilityjustice #racialjustice #disabilityrights #AutismAcceptanceMonth #autisticchild #ActuallyAutistic #mentalhealth #neurodiversity #ableism#healthjustice #autismacceptance #autisticpride #eugenics #medicalrationing [Image: Banner with a green apple with AWN logo.
