Detroit Disability Power (DDP) presents "Leveraging the Power of the Disability Community". This is a condensed, one-hour version of DDP’s two-hour Anti-Ableism workshop designed to provide foundational insights into disability justice. This interactive session will explore introductory concepts including disability as a cultural identity, ableism as an intersecting system of oppression, and models of disability—covering who is included in the disability community, appropriate language, and engagement strategies. Participants will begin to build concrete tools for creating inclusive environments and developing effective allyship skills across professional and personal spaces.
