Attention to accessibility [in activist work] not only ensures the participation of disabled people, which, as [Lorrell] Kilpatrick notes, can transform the practices of an entire organization, but also ensures that people can participate in movement work in sustainable ways because the multiple needs of their bodyminds are being considered and care, for one's self and each other, is valued.
