#DisabilityRights #Activist and #Author #AliceWong Has Passed Away

https://bookriot.com/disability-activist-and-author-alice-wong-has-passed-away/

#ArtistOfTheWeek – this week I'm not choosing an artist per se but writer & activist Alice Wong.

The keywords last week were Access/Accessibility and this week the keyword is Change.

Alice passed away last weekend and was a bright, insightful, light-hearted person who embraced change and fought for justice for disabled folks.

Alice Wong, the disability justice advocate and author, died at the weekend at age 51. She was best known for founding the Disability Visibility Project. She also wrote multiple books and a column for Teen Vogue, and her final project was Crips for eSims for Gaza, which raised over $3 million to help connect people living in Gaza to the internet. Here's @19thnews's tribute to her.

#AliceWong #InMemoriam #DisabilityVisibilityProject #DisabilityRights #Gaza #Books #Activism

"We don’t have parades or awareness campaigns. There isn’t a push to stop using ableist slurs and language. People don’t call others out when they discriminate against the disabled. It’s still socially acceptable...

"Alice wasn’t afraid. She was fearless. She embraced her disabilities and made sure the world saw her for who she was.

"Her work helped me understand that there is no social justice without disability justice."

Alice Wong was a tremendously amazing human being, and our world is poorer now that she is no longer in it. 💔

let us honour her legacy as a luminary of the disability justice movement by fighting for a world where people with disabilities—especially those of marginalized demographics who are people of color, LGBTQ & immigrants—can live freely & have full autonomy over our lives & decisions ❤️‍🩹
