There
seems to be a fair amount of organizing among people with disabilities
(PWDs) and Deaf people to enter/embody/access the Occupy/Decolonize
movement. Some are focusing on educating nondisabled people in the
movement about access and ableism, others on hidden disabilities, others
on how people who cannot attend encampments can be involved, etc. I'm
trying to connect different groups and also to help provide a space for
people to talk about the issues that matter to them. So, if you'd like
to write a post about anything relating to disability and
occupy/decolonize, or working on the movement from home, please get in
touch. Two people, in addition to me, have written posts for the Occupy at Home blog, and we also have a list of some Deaf and disability occupy/decolonize groups
on the blog. If you know of other groups, websites, etc., that should
be listed, please comment with your/their info. (I know there's one
called Krips Occupy Wall Street - KOWS - but I have to hunt down their
contact info.) I'm trying to tweet anything relevant to people
activisting from home (for whatever reason) and people involved in
Occupy with disabilities from my twitter handle, @occupy_at_home. Please
pass on any links or news items to be tweeted.
