​What is Disability Justice? People often express feeling intimidated and ill-equipped to unpack what we've been taught about disability, and how to support and advocate for disabled people in our everyday lives. This workshop is a fabulous opportunity for you to dive into the magic of disability justice with SURJ and Alex Locust at the helm.
​
With "Spill the Disabili-Tea™", Alex will be facilitating an interactive discussion of disability justice for those committed to elevating their support for disabled folks in their community. Using his lived experience, education, and advocacy know-how, he'll lead a candid conversation exploring issues around disability and Disability Justice.

BUILDING ACCESS

The doors for the Sierra Club building will be locked, so please arrive by 12:45. There will be a greeter in the lobby until 1:15. If you are driving, please try to carpool and arrive early to leave time to find a spot. Street parking is generally available in a 3-4 block radius.

The Sierra Club Offices are on the 13th floor. There is a bank of elevators that go to the 12th floor and above.

BUILDING ACCESSIBILITY

There are two entrances to Sierra Club Office building on Webster and 21st both of which are accessible for mobility devices. The building has an elevator, and the kitchen space, conference room, and all restrooms can also accommodate mobility devices.

REMOTE ACCESS

We will be trying out a remote access plan for those who cannot physically attend the meeting. This will be a Live Stream and will only be available during the time of the workshop. Please let us know if this option suits your needs after RSVP'ing below by emailing: accessibility@surjbayarea.org by 8:00 AM on Friday November 1st.

QUIET SPACE

We will provide a space for folx to retreat to if they need quiet space during the workshop. This space is provided to create a more accessible event. The location of the space will be pointed out at the workshop.

SCENTS

The Sierra Club’s space endeavors to offer a scent-free environment; however as the Club is currently transitioning towards the use of only scent-free products, we cannot guarantee an entirely scent-free space. We ask everyone to please arrive at meetings fragrance-free to support access for folks who experience multiple chemical sensitivities and allergies. This means using only body products and laundry detergent that say “fragrance-free” or “unscented” on the label and do not have scented ingredients.

RESTROOMS

While some of the restrooms are still labeled in a gender-binary way, the Sierra Club’s office policy is that all restrooms are gender neutral and we will have signs posted to mark the restrooms as such. We ask that you respect people’s gender identities and expressions by making all restrooms available to anyone, regardless of lived or perceived gender identity. We ask that folks choose the restroom that is right for them, and that no one question a person’s chosen restroom.

COST ACCESSIBILITY

This event is sliding scale, meaning pay what you can afford or are comfortable with. The sliding scale is from $20-$80 is below.  No one will be turned away for lack of funds, if you are unable to pay please RSVP here.
