It’s day 17 of our #DisabilityRightsInBlack series and Vilissa Thompson is spotlighting the power of southern Black organizers with disabilities!
Hailing from Winnsboro South Carolina, Vilissa is a Licensed Master Social Worker, organizer, writer, advocate, and creator of Ramp Your Voice.
Her insightful message below emphasizes how inclusive cross-movement organizing can strengthen community and political change.
We highly encourage you to review Vilissa’s website for several in-depth and beautifully written blogs on Black Disability History and to follow Vilissa on Twitter @VilissaThompson.
