Organizers Forum: Organizational Models for Fighting Racism & White Supremacy




Thanks to those who joined the August call about fighting racism and white supremacy in disability organizations and the disability rights movement! Following up on that call, let's look around and outside our communities to see what others are doing and what we can learn. We will hear from people in white-led organizations about what they are doing to fight white supremacy inside and outside their organizations, and how white-led organizations can set up structures of accountability to communities of color.


We'll be on video! Click the Zoom link above and turn on your webcam, or you can just call in from your phone. Unfortunately we will not have the online conference line available as in prior months. Please test your webcam and speakers before the call.


Speakers:


Lindsay Imai Hong, Hand in Hand: The Domestic Employers Network


Dessa Cosma, Detroit Disability Power


Sarah Jarmon, San Francisco Senior and Disability Action

Additional speakers may be announced.













Accommodations & CART: 

  • The call will have real-time captioning (CART) at: https://2020archive.1capapp.com/event/forum/. No username and password needed, when you log on at the time of the call.
  • To ask questions via CART: Sign-in to the chat function on the right side of the transcript and type your question. One of the call facilitators will read questions posted there. You can also type questions through the Zoom video portal.

  • Because we want to maximize the generously donated CART services, we will begin the call promptly at 1:00 p.m. and end the call promptly at 2:00 p.m. Eastern.
  • Thank you to the National Disability Leadership Alliance for sponsoring the captioning of this call. Thank you to Senior and Disability Action for providing the video conference service.

  • If you need additional accommodations to participate in the call, please let us know as soon as possible. 


Mark your calendars! The Organizer's Forum has a call on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, 1:00-2:00 p.m. Eastern. 


Background: 


The Organizing Workgroup of the National Disability Leadership Alliance hosts these calls the third Tuesday of every month as a resource for disability organizers, in an effort toward building the organizing capacity of the disability community across the country. They generally follow the format of a Welcome followed by 2-3 experts in a given area speaking for a few minutes on their experiences, advice and challenges. The calls include a 20-30 minute question and answer period. 


Please share widely!
