In reaction to a disability movement that treated disability as a single-issue concern, in 2005, activists Patty Berne, Mia Mingus, and Stacey Milbern conceived of the term and framework of “disability justice.” The movement wanted to focus on the way that systems are interconnected and include disability issues that intersected with historically excluded groups, such as women, people of color, immigrants, and people who identify as LGBTQ+. Ellice Patterson, founder of Abilities Dance, Jorge Matos Valldejuli, professor and reference librarian at Hostos Community College, and Britney Wilson, Director of the Civil Rights and Disability Justice Clinic at New York Law School, are all engaged in disability justice work from the arts to the courtroom. Panelists will reflect on the history of disability justice as a concept, disability rights vs. disability justice, how the framework has informed their work, and how disability justice has grown and manifests today.
