An invitation to reflect on how bias -- implicit or explicit -- impacts the way we navigate the world and disrupts our ability to practice community care. We will discuss intersectionality as it pertains to power dynamics, both interpersonally and systemically. We will specifically highlight how ableism (internal, external, and systemic) harms us all and how accommodations and access for disabled folks are at the center of collective liberation, safety, and care.
