May 17: Bed In: Virtual Hands Off Protest for Disability Rights

May 17 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Upcoming: Bed In: Virtual Hands Off Protest May 17, 2025
In the spirit of meeting people where they are, we want to emphasize that because many disabled people cannot attend in-person events, virtual activism is often where we can be found, heard, and engaged as a vibrant and valuable community.

Zoom registration can be found here: https://bit.ly/BedIn517 and via the QR code found on the flyer enclosed.

The event will include:

  • Advocacy workshops on issues such as Section 504, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, disaster preparedness, and voting access
  • Performances and showcases of disability-led art, music, and culture
  • A platform for community storytelling and voices that are too often unheard

Sponsors include New Disabled South, Chase Bliss, Sugar Hollow Solar, and Midwest Anesthesiology and Pain Specialists (MAPS). The event will feature live captions, ASL interpretation, and other accessibility accommodations.
