Detroit Disability Power presents Anti-Ableism 101, a two-hour Zoom workshop designed to provide critical insights into disability justice. This interactive session will explore foundational concepts including ableism as an intersecting system of oppression, disability as a cultural and political identity, models of disability, and accessibility—covering who is included in the disability community, appropriate language, and engagement strategies. Participants will learn concrete tools for creating inclusive environments and developing effective allyship skills across professional and personal spaces. More than a learning experience, this workshop is an opportunity for activists, educators, and community leaders to actively contribute to building a more equitable and accessible world.
