Making Connections: Disability Activism and Social Justice at Large

In what ways can disability activists connect their work to other forms of social justice work? In what ways is disability activism completely different from other social justice struggles? This panel investigates areas where it may be useful to make connections between disability activism and the work of GLBTQ and anti-racist activists, and where it is not.
