Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
“To me, one quality of disability justice culture is that it is simultaneously beautiful and practical. Poetry and dance are as valuable as a blog post about access hacks - because they're equally important and interdependent.”
Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice

Hélène Cixous
“My voice repels death; my death; your death; my voice is my other. I write and you are not dead. The other is safe if I write.”
Hélène Cixous

Edna St. Vincent Millay
“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!”
Edna St. Vincent Millay, A Few Figs from Thistles

Mumia Abu-Jamal
“For law can be just or unjust. Dr. Huey P. Newton said, “The law must serve men; not men serve the law.” John Africa, founder of the MOVE Organization, said, “Just because it’s legal doesn’t make it right.”
Mumia Abu-Jamal, Have Black Lives Ever Mattered?

Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha
“A Disability Justice framework understands that all bodies are unique and essential, that all bodies have strengths and needs that must be met.”
Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice
