Rights-based advocacy for equitable education for disabled students is my passion, but justice is my goal. Justice takes into account how identities like race, ethnicity, gender, class, and sexual orientation, affect a disabled person’s experience. By extension, as parents/ guardians/caregivers, the response to our advocacy is also affected by our identity.
