In the past 5 yrs, over 700 ppl w/disabilities were murdered by their parents/relatives/caregivers. Today the disability community is paying homage to those victims through Day of Mourning vigils. Alongside honoring the victims, we intend to bring attention to this serious issue.

Thanks to all the grads who have called and written in with your testimonials! We are listening. We are grateful to be working with the RU-AAUP/AFT asking for extensions and support in the wake of Covid. Keep sending and calling in your experiences

"by casting someone who doesn’t have a disability when there’s so much choice of incredible disabled talent already available, those real-life stories are immediately stripped of value." - @official_faithm writes about Sia's Music Golden Globe nomination theunwritten.co.uk/2021/02/0…
it’s nice to know that even before my recorded lectures go out I’ve already faced my toughest critic

For those living with the long term effects of COVID and newly acquired disabilities:
-It’s ok to be disabled.
-it’s ok to need help
-mobility aids like wheelchairs or crutches are not a “step down.”
-it’s ok to take longer to do things
-it’s ok to set new boundaries.
