Partner: Access Living/Empowered Fe Fes

Access Living is a cross-disability organization governed and staffed by a majority of people with disabilities. Access Living fosters the dignity, pride, and self-esteem of people with disabilities and enhances the options available to them so they may make their own choices about their lives. Access Living recognizes the innate rights, abilities, needs and diversity of people with disabilities, works toward their integration into community life and serves as an agent of social change.

Access Living can hook you up to resources for challenging disability oppression within your social change work. Just contact us for free guides, videos from the Fe Fes, referrals, or just to talk to a person you can strategize with.
