not that this post needs it, but just a little plus one here from me, with the added context of a bit of history that hopefully we all know:
the 504 sit in would simply not have been possible without the solidarity and assistance of the Black Panther Party. that kind of solidarity is what allows us to make real, lasting change, and it must be maintained, constantly, both ways. disability activism, advocating for accessibility, must come hand-in-hand with racial justice, uplifting the voices of people of color, and reckoning with the mistreatment of racial minority groups in the social circles we participate in. this has not been done here on cohost. we need to do the work to fix this.
