Welcome to "On What Matters," a conversation series between our executive vice president Hilary Pennington and social justice leaders on the frontlines of change. This episode features Dessa Cosma, founding director of Detroit Disability Power and seasoned social justice advocate. Dessa talks with Hilary about the importance of using intersectional strategies to fight for disability justice, how to lift people with disabilities from the bottom of every quality-of-life index, and how we all need a “radical reorientation about how we think about disability.” Learn more about our work on disability justice and inclusion at: https://www.fordfoundation.org/news-and-stories/big-ideas/there-is-no-justice-without-disability/ And more about Detroit Disability Power at: https://www.detroitdisabilitypower.org/ _______ We want this video to be accessible to the widest possible audience.
