On this day in 2020, we lost Stacey Park Milbern, a fierce advocate and activist who taught us about disability justice, love, organizing, and so much more. Spend a moment today with some of her most important works here: disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2020/05/23/s...
There is a textured grey gradient background with a light rounded corner rectangle. Blue text reads: Remembering Stacey Park Milbern. Black text reads: On this day in 2020, we lost Stacey Park Milbern, a fierce advocate and activist who taught us about disability justice, love, organizing, and so much more. There is a quotation in italics: I want to leave a legacy of disabled people knowing we are powerful and beautiful because of who we are, not despite of it.” There is a picture of Stacey, a mixed race Korean and white person outside in front of plants. She has short dark hair, glasses, a white and blue striped shirt, and has a visible trach tube.
