Disability Justice Culture Club
Stacey Park Milbern was a warrior for disability justice. In honor of her life and work, the Disability Justice Culture Club (DJCC) was created. The DJCC is a space for disabled people to connect with each other and build community. We remember and honor Stacey by continuing her fight for a world that values all disabled people.
Together we will make our communities better places to live in, thrive in, and be proud of. One way we can do this is by acknowledging the value of cultural traditions like Deaf American Sign Language (DASL). DASL has an oral history dating back generations as well as used throughout North America and parts of Europe. It has been proven to help cognitive development in children who use it early on in their lives.
We also need more representation from people with disabilities on television so that we can see ourselves represented on screen. As parents tell their kids stories at bedtime or before they go off to school, it’s important that these stories include representation from diverse populations like disability culture club members too!
