Antifascism & Disability
Channel: Firestorm Books
Date: 26/09/2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has laid even more bare the giant cracks in our society (including our organizing spaces) when it comes to disability. In this workshop, abolitionist organizer Moss Williams discusses public health, fascism, ableism in organizing, and the long history of disabled resistance. They also discuss how disability justice has the tools to help alleviate and even solve many of our individual and societal problems, especially as millions more of us are becoming disabled due to post viral illness.

Moss Williams is a disabled nonbinary antifascist and abolitionist organizer, writer, and artist. They have traveled all over the US and Canada doing workshops on disability, antifascism, philosophy, and self defense. They have also written a soon to be published essay for The Anarchism & Punk Book Project.
