#DisabilityToo

ROOTED IN RIGHTS  NEW VIDEO! We all know about the viral hashtag #MeToo.  But there's still more to talk about:  the epidemic of sexual assault against people with disabilities.  Rooted in Rights and the Disability Visibility Project collaborated for a Twitter chat to lift up the voices of disabled survivors so that their stories could be heard.   The Twitter chat revealed many powerful truths.  Courtney and Rachel discuss key takeaways in our latest video.  They interviewed Alice Wong and Vilissa Thompson, activists and organizers of the digital event.  Watch the video to see what they discussed.   Like Alice said, the work has just begun and your story is important.  You can share it with us at rootedinrights.org/DisabilityToo.   Let's amplify the voices of our community.  We deserve to be heard and seen.     The most accessible version of this video is available here.
