Thursday, July 23rd at 5pm PT / 8pm ET.
Join us an online free screening of DEEJ + panel for the second in the #NoBodyIsDisposable 3-part summer series, highlighting the politics of disposability -- how certain groups of people are deemed disposable/expendable/inferior -- and creative forms of resistance. Following the film, panelists will discuss the power of poetry and art, and the potential for that power to create lasting liberatory change—both cultural and political.
Panelists include artful activist and Deej's subject and co-producer David James Savarese; poet, blogger, and activist Lateef McLeod; and Assistant Professor of Disability Studies and disability justice activist Sara M. Acevedo (moderator). Sponsored by Superfest Disability Film Festival, Paul K. Longmore Institute on Disability at San Francisco State University, Making Change Media, San Francisco Senior and Disability Action, the #NoBodyIsDisposable coalition, the California Care Rationing Coalition, Fat Rose, Detroit Disability Action and Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF).
Event is free and open to all. Register here.
