"Shifting the focus from the individual to the many oppressive forces against us is at the heart of disability justice, an ongoing activist legacy that we have at our disposal for our collective survival."
"Practice disability justice however you can, whatever chance you get. This is our collective lifeline, whether you’re disabled or not."

"Due to abandonment during the AIDS crisis, queer activists perfected harm reduction.
If you can give out condoms, you can give out masks at the door with a flyer explaining why they’re vital for survival and solidarity.
You can open windows. Get an air filter. Meet outside."
