How can we know—and claim—our rights related to disability, immigration, free speech? How can we use our creative practice to navigate, share, and defend these rights?

This community gathering invites artists with disabilities and allies to learn about our rights and use art to help defend these rights for ourselves and others.

Blending practical information with artistic activities, this interactive event aims to build solidarity and create resources to share with neighbors, friends, and colleagues.

Chris Ramos of Access Living will guide us through our rights, offering special attention to the intersection of disability rights and immigration rights, and how these rights apply to disabled immigrants who encounter immigration officials. Then we’ll invite attendees to create mini-zines for community distribution, contribute to a collaborative artwork, and to screenprint and embellish protest posters. 

Virtual participants can contribute to a digital zine via Canva or join a breakout room to discuss and share accessible mutual aid efforts and resources.

Through these activities, we strengthen our ability to protect ourselves, support our community, and participate in collective resistance.
