Disability Justice RESOURCE DIRECTORY This is a (non-exhaustive, ever evolving) curation of disability justice tools and resources, compiled by the CFM team. As an organization, we have had the deep privilege of learning about Disability Justice by some extraordinary teachers, especially through our former core team member, Stacey Park Milbern, as well as our long-term collaborator/guest facilitator/care team member/access lead India Harville. We have created this resource to honor what we’ve learned from them, and many others along the way, to help keep the learning and the movement going. ⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿⦿ Creating Freedom Movements #MoreJusticeMoreJoy Published May 28, 2022 Last Updated: May 06, 2025 at approximately 8:06 PM EST.
