How do we build sustainable and resilient communities of liberation where no one is left behind? The author explores disability justice, a movement that centers on the lives and leadership of sick and disabled LGBTQ+ people of color. A great intersectional read! -- Elise

 

An empowering collection of essays on the author's experiences in the disability justice movement.

"Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice is a collection profoundly necessary at this moment ... the essays share a fundamental hypothesis: to achieve social justice, ableism must be destroyed. Personal narratives and accounts of organizing are voiced from Black and brown and queer disabled people, radically reimagining the ways our society is structured, uplifting visions and models for care webs that create collective access." &emdash; Broadly (Best Books of the Year)

 

"An instant classic, Care Work is equal parts on-the-ground dispatch from the disability justice movement and practical field guide to liberatory access. Rather than something to be begrudgingly tacked on, accessibility, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha shows us, might be joyous and collective." &emdash; Smithsonian Magazine
