How much audacity must one have to claim Disability Justice as the theme but fail to embody DJ? 👀
No remote options when Collective Access is the 9th principle of DJ! 🙈
No free spots when Anti-Capitalist Politic is the 3rd principle! 🤡
Such fuckery is why I refuse to renew my OCSWSSW registration! 🔥
Image Description: Against a white background, text states: CSWE's 71st Annual Conference October 23-26 The 2025 CSWE Annual Conference Denver, CO CSWE Annual Conference Call for Proposals Open! The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) invites proposals for the 71st CSWE Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado, October 23-26, 2025. The conference theme - It's Time to Act: Championing Disability Justice and Disability Joy in Social Work. This theme champions the need for social work conversations around disability joy, justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Image Description: Against a black background, text states: Notice of Intent to Suspend the Certificate of Registration. External ⭐️ Inbox OCSWSSW Info 08:46 to me Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers Professional Ethical Qualified Accountable Dear Krystal Kavita Jagoo, The deadline to complete your annual renewal of your College registration (Registration No. 818353) was 31 December 2024. Our records show you have not completed your annual renewal of your registration or paid your renewal fees. You are now in default of payment of the annual fee for 2025. If you do not complete your annual renewal and pay the annual fee and late penalty by 03 April 2025, your certificate of registration will be suspended. In the top left corner is art by Sins Invalid, which notes the 10 Disability Justice principles: intersectionality, leadership of those most impacted, anti-capitalism, cross-movement organizing, wholeness, sustainability, cross-disability solidarity, interdependence, collective access, and collective liberation. Against a blue background, yellow text states: Intersectionality reminds me that I have always deserved to exist, even when ableism intersects with white supremacy, settler-colonialism, capitalism, xenophobia, queerantagonism, fatphobia, ageism, etc. to deem me disposable! Leadership of those most impacted demands better from those who hold positions of power to actively shift resources as part of their leadership practice! Anti-capitalism reminds me that there is no ethical consumption under this dumpster fire that is capitalism! Wholeness is what we have always been even when that is not recognized by unethical ass entities! Sustainability is what we inherently prioritize when we resist a culture of urgency to build a strong foundation for all of our movement building efforts! Cross-disability solidarity means learning how to support other folx with disabilities that differ from my own individual access needs with the solidarity that we all require to ensure that nobody is left behind! Interdependence reminds me that we all rely on others, but only disabled folx are pathologized for needing help, as that is how ableism harms us daily! Collective access understands that we do not all ever have equal access at any given time as marginalized groups are often judged for the very barriers that rigged systems place in our way! Collective liberation demands that we work together to facilitate the revolution that ensures equitable outcomes for the most marginalized of us & our loved ones, as access has always been an expression of love that understands how ableist oppression poses barriers for some over others! 🫶🏽

We’re so excited to share more about our vision and work with you 😊
A green slide with a yellow box with the text: Inspired by our Disabled ancestors and the ongoing work of disability justice activists, Crip Care envisions an empowered disability community thriving in crip culture and gathering in radically accessible, crip-centered spaces. We dream of expansive care webs rooted in mutual aid, interdependence, and collective liberation. A green slide with a yellow box with the text: Crip Care is committed to dismantling non-disabled supremacy and other intersecting systems of oppression by fostering spaces where disabled people can lead, organize, and create, and disabled people most impacted by oppression are centered. A green slide with a prickly pear cactus and a yellow box with the text: We aim to cultivate a world where disability is celebrated as a source of strength and creativity, where access is not an afterthought but a cornerstone, and where care is collective and transformative. A green slide with a yellow box with the text: Through education, advocacy, capacity building, and the cultivation of crip culture and crip joy, we strive to build a future where Disabled people not only survive but thrive in communities that honor their inherent worth, dignity, and the value of their diverse experiences. We’re so excited to share more about our work with you!
