Ableism in Non-Disabled Activist Organizations

Interview participants discussed how they have experienced ableism and a lack of accessibility in other Black activist spaces, like chapters of Black Lives Matter. Interview participants note that part of the differences in ableism between chapters of not-explicitly-disability-focused organizations is often whether there is a Black disabled person in the organization's chapter actively pushing against ableism and for accessibility. Interviewees also reflected that when this push against ableism is implemented it doesn't just help disabled activists but also often makes movement work more physically sustainable for everyone.
