INVITATION TO ACTION: Educate Yourself! Support a Black Disabled
DESCRIPTION: “My beloved Disability Community, be silent no longer on Blacks being murdered by police! Our silence and neutral stance unless it involves those who look like us, or who are disabled, sends the message that we don’t care about what doesn’t touch us. We cannot hide behind silence and neutrality. Elie Wiesel said, “Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” Desmond Tutu put it even stronger – “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” Let’s not, by our silence, choose the side of the oppressor.
