Disability is everywhere in the world, including in transformative justice. In this lively talk with lots of swearing, disability and transformative justice movement worker and writer/editor Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha will examine just what happens when we "crip" TJ- what does it mean when many transformative justice movement workers are survivors with anxiety and PTSD, how to create anti-ableist accountability strategies as disabled survivors and people who have caused harm, how to look at abuse through a disability justice lens, and what it means to move slow, vulnerable and strong in doing TJ work.
