The @BbhsCrusaders Neurodiversity Club visited @Lafayette_ES for International Day of Persons with Disabilities. The club read “We Move Together” which teaches each person is unique. The students then cut snowflakes to demonstrate all snowflakes are different - just like us!

It is with great sadness we announce that Hale Zukas has passed away. Hale Zukas was one of the founders of the Center for Independent Living. He was a Rolling Quads member and worked on the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

I research the history of institutionalization and its impact on disabled communities in the 1800s. We just keep backtracking. How have we not learned from histories of eugenics?

Disability, as we've come to know it, represents a radical way of being in the world, an acknowledgement of our essential interdependencies, a commitment to radical forms of care and access, and a powerful source of kinship and community.

We also found solidarity and camaraderie fighting for disability justice, organizing and attending cultural events...where we would walk, roll, limp, chant, sign, stim, and push our way through winding city streets toward a better, more accessible future.
