December is here! 💙 From a Care Circle for Anxious Queers to a Crips-Mas Market to a panel on Care Work as Mutual Aid, there's something for everyone. Whether you're joining us in person or virtually, we can't wait to see you! Register for events at: disabilityculturalcenter.org/calendar⁠

Join Alan Pelaez Lopez, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Tiezst “Tie” Taylor to discuss mutual aid – from personal survival strategies to Crips for Palestine and organizing in immigrant communities. We’ll explore how our movements are intertwined and our collective liberation lies in care work.

Dear DCC Family, We write to you with broken hearts. Disability Justice leader, MacArthur Genius, and a dear friend of the DCC passed away last night. Take care of yourself and each other. We leave you with her final words from our grand opening, "Thank you and Free Palestine.”
