Policy / Action / Archive: Pursuing Disability and Economic Justice in Fascist Times

• In Event: CDSC Sponsored Panel: Disability in an Age of Fascism (HYBRID)

Abstract

Co-presenters will turn to the material impacts of fascist efforts to disintegrate the administrative state. We will lay out the current public policy situation and its impact on disabled people. Then, we will bridge economic and disability justice lenses in addressing ongoing and potential resistance efforts. Through collaborative conversation between panelists and audience members, we will think together about what to do when the system crumbles. While the utility of arguments and commentary may not be clear in this moment, we consider how this work still serves as a vital archive for the movement.
