Presented by the Disability and Philanthropy Forum
People with disabilities are more likely to work in service and manual labor occupations than people without a disability, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But in addition to ableist labor issues such as subminimum wage and lack of accessible workplaces, disabled workers also often face unsafe working conditions that can potentially lead to acquiring new disabilities without adequate social, economic, or health infrastructure for support. As the labor movement experiences mounting action since 2020, it’s crucial for philanthropy to support disabled leadership in workers’ rights organizing.
Join Rebecca Vallas, Distinguished Fellow & Senior Adviser at the National Academy of Social Insurance, and the Inevitable Foundation, which invests in supporting disabled writers and filmmakers, to learn why disabled leadership is crucial for labor rights organizing and how funders can support disability-inclusive labor movements.
