# Disability Justice Principles
1. INTERSECTIONALITY(*) "we are many things, and they all impact us."
[Sins Invalid](https://www.sinsinvalid.org/) disability based performance project defines [10 principles of disability justice]([Sins Invalid](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5bed3674f8370ad8c02efd9a/t/5f1f0783916d8a179c46126d/1595869064521/10_Principles_of_DJ-2ndEd.pdf) which are:
(*) Feminist theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw coined intersectionality in
1989 to describe the experiences of Black women, who experience both
racism and sexism.
???
“We do not live single issue lives” –Audre Lorde.
Ableism, coupled with white supremacy, supported by capitalism, underscored by heteropatriarchy, has rendered the vast majority of the world “invalid.”
---
# Disability Justice Principles
1. INTERSECTIONALITY "we are many things, and they all impact us."
2. LEADERSHIP OF THOSE MOST IMPACTED helps us stay grounded by those we serve
???
“We are led by those who most know these systems.” –Aurora Levins Morales
lifting up, listening to, reading, following, and highlighting the perspectives of those who are most impacted by the systems we fght against."
by centering the
leadership of those most impacted, we keep ourselves grounded in real-world
problems and find creative strategies for resistance. "
---
# Disability Justice Principles
1. INTERSECTIONALITY "we are many things, and they all impact us."
2. LEADERSHIP OF THOSE MOST IMPACTED helps us stay grounded by those we serve
3. ANTI-CAPITALIST POLITICS "we resist conforming to 'normative' levels
of productivity in a capitalist culture"
???
In an economy that sees land and humans as components of profit, we are anti-capitalist by the nature of having non-conforming body/minds.
Capitalism depends on wealth accumulation for some (the white ruling class), at the expense of others... Our worth is not dependent on what and how much we can produce.
---
# Disability Justice Principles
4) CROSS-MOVEMENT SOLIDARITY "Through cross-movement solidarity, we create a united front."
???
disability justice lends itself to politics of alliance.
Align with racial justice, reproductive justice, queer and trans liberation, prison abolition, environmental justice, anti-police terror, Deaf activism, fat liberation, and more... challenging white disability communities around racism and challenging other movements to confront ableism.
--
5) RECOGNIZING WHOLENESS "Disabled people are whole people."
???
People have inherent worth outside of commodity relations and capitalist notions of productivity. Each person is full of history and life experience.
Each person is full of history and life experience. Each person has an internal
experience composed of our own thoughts, sensations, emotions, sexual fantasies,
perceptions, and quirks.
--
6) SUSTAINABILITY "pace ourselves, individually and collectively"
???
We pace ourselves, individually and collectively, to be sustained long term. Our embodied experiences guide us toward ongoing justice and liberation.
to be sustained long-term, value the teachings of our bodies and experiences, and use them as a critical guide and reference point to help us move away from urgency and into a deep, slow, transformative, unstoppable wave of justice and liberation.
--
7) COMMITMENT TO CROSS-DISABILITY SOLIDARITY "isolation undermines collective liberation"
???
even and especially those who are most often left out of political conversations. Break down the isolation between people with physical
impairments, people who are sick or chronically ill, psych survivors and people
with mental health disabilities, neurodiverse people, people with intellectual or
developmental disabilities, Deaf people, Blind people, people with environmental
injuries and chemical sensitivities, and all others who experience ableism and
isolation that undermines our collective liberation.
---
# Disability Justice Principles
8) INTERDEPENDENCE "We work to meet each other's needs" rather than depending on state solutions
???
the liberation of all living systems and the land as integral to the liberation of our own communities, as we all share one planet. We work to meet each other’s needs as we build toward liberation, knowing that state solutions inevitably extend into further control over lives.
--
9) COLLECTIVE ACCESS "We can share responsibility for our access needs ... balance autonomy while being in community"
???
AS brown, black and queer-bodied disabled people we bring flexibility and creative nuance that go beyond able-bodied/minded normativity, to be in community with each other.
... Access needs aren’t shameful — we all function differently depending on context and environment. Access needs can be articulated and met privately, through a collective, or in community, depending upon an individual’s needs, desires, and the capacity of the group. We can share responsibility for our access needs, we can ask that our needs be met without compromising our integrity, we can balance autonomy while being in community, we can be unafraid of our vulnerabilities, knowing our strengths are respected.

Case study: One-way Masking

.quote[Why wouldn’t people wear a mask to protect “vulnerable” members of our community, who are statistically part of every college campus?
