Have you heard of the 'Social Model of Disability'? Our CEO and co-founder, Anna Wright takes us through this enlightening perspective in a compelling article for Women's Agenda. This approach encourages us to view disability differently - recognising that it's our environment and societal structures that create barriers, not the condition itself. Through insightful analysis and personal reflections, the article calls for a shift towards understanding, acceptance, and inclusion of people with disabilities. Head to this article and join the conversation on how we can collectively reframe our approach to disability.

#NationalDisabilityIndependenceDay is celebrated every year today, July 26th. In order to plot a more intentional course toward systemic change that achieves the inclusion, access, liberation and economic health and wellbeing of disabled women and families, we’re sharing the National Partnership for Women & Families’ Disability Economic Justice Systems Transformation Guide. It examines the systemic barriers that disabled women, particularly disabled Women of Color, and their families face in obtaining and maintaining employment. As we celebrate the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act this month, we also recognize the necessary strides we still need to make toward full inclusion and equity for disabled people.

Amplify the voices of women with disabilities. Women with disabilities experience high rates of violence. 65% of women with disabilities report at least one experience of violence since the age of 15. Violence against women with disabilities is preventable and by working with women with disabilities, we can address the social context that gives rise to violence against women and girls with disabilities. #16DaysofActivism #IDPwD 📷 Women with Disabilities Victoria

When you need a break, take it. “No” is a complete sentence. It is not your responsibility to hold the weight of the world but your voice holds the power to change it! As we wrap up Disability Pride Month, we’re leaning into Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. Citing Patty Berne’s “10 Principles of Disability Justice” as a grounding text within in the disability justice movement, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha encourages femme, disabled, queer, and trans community leaders to reframe their relationship to labor. At The LP, we’re community-centered, POC-centered, and propelled by love. With disability justice frameworks in mind, giving grace, honoring our capacity, and supporting our fam is built into the fabric of our work. Reflect & Share: How do you affirm your boundaries?
