We Move Together: Disability Justice and Trans Liberation

A conversation with Patty Berne, Tourmaline, Kiyaan Abadani, and Malcolm Shanks. Moderated by India Harville. How are organizers and artists building cross-movement solidarity from an understanding that no one is disposable? How can we reclaim bodily autonomy, our right to exist in public space, and our liberatory visions of a world where all bodyminds are valued? As disabled and/or trans people whose bodies are pathologized and policed, how can we move together towards collective liberation? This conversation was recorded on May 11, 2017 in Oakland, CA. This event was organized in conjunction with the Trans Life and Liberation Art Series, an art exhibit on view at the event space. This event is sponsored by Sins Invalid, Peacock Rebellion, Barnard Center for Research on Women, and CultureStrike with support from Akonadi Foundation’s Beloved Community Fund and East Bay Fund for Artists. Additional videos created in conjunction with this event can be found on the event page.
