Join Mia Mingus, Sandy Ho, and Alice Wong for a conversation about access from a disability justice perspective on March 26, 2019, 4 pm Pacific <\/strong>with guest host House of GG<\/a>, the first educational and historical center\u00a0solely dedicated to Transgender and gender nonconforming people\u00a0in the USA.\u00a0How can we expand our ideas of access beyond enforcement and civil rights? Is access a form of love? We\u2019ll explore these questions and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Access Is Love<\/a> aims to help build a world where accessibility is understood as an act of love, instead of a burden or an after-thought. It is an initiative to raise awareness about accessibility and encourage people to incorporate access in their everyday practices and lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Access Is Love was inspired from the opening keynote of the <\/span>2018 Disability Intersectionality Summit <\/span><\/a>(Oct 2018), <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Disability Justice is Simply Another Word for Love<\/span><\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A new group will be highlighted every two months. From March-April, we will be supporting The Queer Futures Collective<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Access Is Love<\/span><\/a> is a project created and led by Sandy Ho, Mia Mingus, and Alice Wong. <\/span><\/p>\n
