a l'allure garconniere: In which Mia Mingus reads SJ activists for their ableism:

at this point in the game, if you’re doing social justice work, it is unacceptable to me to not have ANY mention about accessibility on your website or event info. at the very least, even a simple, “please contact us about accessibility” or “this space is not wheel chair accessible” or SOMETHING to show that you even pondered accessibility for a fleeting moment. i am not asking for disability justice here, i am just asking for basic access. and for reals, on a personal note, it would literally save me SO SO SO MUCH time in my life to not have to go on a freaking access scavenger hunt every time i want to go and be with the movements that i work my ass off for everyday. i love yall, but please get it together.

-Mia Mingus, Reading and getting able bodied folks together since 1980.

Thank you again to everyone that supported, volunteered, played, did a workshop, and came to this year’s Combating Latent Inequality Together Fest in New Brunswick (well really Highland Park)! Doing a fest of this magnitude in our small DIY scene was definitely a difficult one, but the end result was more than worth it!

Thanks to you we raised over $6000 for Women Aware! We really couldn’t have done it without any of you!

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 16:37:00 -0400

This is a topic that our collective really wanted to have a workshop on and we are so glad that this will be able to happen.

Demystifying (?) the Immigrants of the New Millenium in the U.S.

Marisol Conde-Hernandez, Rutgers alum and co-founder of the New Jersey DREAM Act Coalition, will offer an interactive presentation that examines stereotypes of “modern-day” immigrants and shatters them with personal testimony, an overview of the complexities of U.S. immigration law and history, and a review of current national and state-level immigration policies.

Marisol, a proud feminist, has presented on topics of immigration, most notably, the DREAM Act, for seven years and is often labeled the “face” of the DREAM Act and the In-State Tuition bill in NJ.
