Grateful today for the freedoms I have from my disabled ancestors' activism. My right to exist - at home, work, and school - is their legacy.

Disabled lives are worth living. Disabled lives are worth protecting. The work continues.

Thanks to @disabilitylab.bsky.social for the sweatshirt!

We at Disability Culture Lab deeply mourn the passing of Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social: activist, storyteller, cultural architect, and one of the brightest lights of our disability community. Please read @thesicktimes.org tribute to Alice, and donate to her GoFundMe & cripsforesimsforgaza.org.
Slide 1: Over a dark teal background, header text reads “Honoring Alice Wong.” Below the header text is a collage digital portrait by Jennifer White-Johnson, featuring Alice Wong, an Asian American woman in a wheelchair with a tracheostomy at her neck connected to a ventilator. She’s wearing a pink plaid shirt, pink pants, and a magenta lip color. She is smiling and behind her are a bunch of tall prehistoric looking plants. She is surrounded with red-orange, yellow, and white flowers and behind it a grainy lavender shaded background. Photo credit: Allison Busch Photography. Below the collage is credit text in italics reading “Image courtesy of Jennifer White-Johnson.”, and below that text is Disability Culture Lab’s logo in white. In the bottom right corner is the page number “1.” Slide 2: Over a dark teal background is a pale eggshell rectangle containing black text that reads “We at Disability Culture Lab deeply mourn the passing of Alice Wong: activist, storyteller, cultural architect, and one of the brightest lights of our disability community. Alice transformed what disability culture is and what it can become. Through the Disability Visibility Project and her own writing and organizing, she cultivated space for disabled people — especially those most marginalized — to tell our own stories, shape our own culture, and imagine futures centered in justice, pleasure, and joy.” Below the text is the teal Disability Culture Lab logo, and in the bottom right corner is the page number “2.” Slide 3: Over a dark teal background is a pale eggshell rectangle containing black text that reads “Alice's work planted seeds for many in the DisCo, including the Disability Culture Lab. Her words, support, and friendship built foundations that will continue to sustain us for generations. Her legacy is a mandate: build community, honor our histories, deepen our solidarities, and fight for a world where disabled people thrive. We hold her loved ones and our community in care and solidarity. Thank you, Alice, for everything you have made possible.” Below the text is the teal Disability Culture Lab logo, and in the bottom right corner is the page number “3.” Slide 4: Over a dark teal background is a pale eggshell rectangle containing black text that reads “Please read The Sick Times’ tribute to Alice to learn more about her life and work. Donate to Alice’s GoFundMe and Crips for eSims for Gaza, linked at the bottom of the tribute. In grief and solidarity, Team Disability Culture Lab.” Below the text is a circular picture of Jen White-Johnson’s collage of Alice, an Asian American woman with a tracheostomy at her neck connected to a ventilator. She’s wearing a pink plaid shirt and a magenta lip color. She is smiling and behind her are a bunch of tall prehistoric looking plants. She is surrounded with red-orange, yellow, and white flowers. On either side of the circle are red graphic shapes, framing Alice’s portrait. Below is the teal Disability Culture Lab logo, and in the bottom right corner is the page number “4.”

To support pay equity for disabled women, we must end segregated workplaces and subminimum wages. Take action for better jobs and fair pay for disabled workers! Tell Congress: Pass the Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act (TCIEA)! #DisabledWomensEPD

Disabled women are paid only 68 cents to every dollar nondisabled men make. Equal pay isn’t just about numbers; it’s about justice, access, and survival.

It's #DisabledWomensEPD. On top of getting paid half of what a non disabled man makes, disabled women & the programs they rely on are under threat from Trump. No matter your background, race or gender, we all deserve equal pay for equal work & safe & accessible working conditions.
A graphic with text centered over a dark green background, that reads, “Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day 2025 October 23” in white and yellow letters. Below, white text reads “We’re still fighting for equal pay.” Centered at the bottom are four hand-drawn people. From left to right, there is a person sitting down facing left, a person standing wearing dark sunglasses and holding a cane, a person with a prosthetic leg standing and waving, and a wheelchair user facing left.
