This week in the Health Justice newsletter, we explore how investing in the leadership of people with disabilities disrupts inequity, improves systems, and keeps people alive. First, people with disabilities are the most likely to be left behind during a climate crisis. In the absence of solid federal policy, community organizations are making plans that help ensure everyone’s safety. Next, how disabled people are leading advocacy work to combat the systemic barriers that lead to their underrepresentation and build political power. Then, the two major funders that launched a fund to support leadership and transformation in disability and technology justice. Finally, on December 14th, NPQ offers a webinar on pay equity. Join us for this essential conversation on how organizations can rethink compensation and more fully embody their social justice values.
