SUMMARY:Disability\, Race & Equity: Exploring Intersectionality\, Advancing Justice
DESCRIPTION:Around 144\,000 residents of Santa Clara County have a disability. The disability community experiences a number of poorer outcomes compared to the general population. People with disabilities are twice as likely to live in poverty\, with 27% living at poverty level. Up to 85% of youth in juvenile detention facilities have a disability\, yet only 37% of them receive special education services. \n  \nWithin the disability population\, people of color experience the greatest disparity. In order to serve our most vulnerable populations\, systems of care must address the multi-faceted barriers faced by people of color with disabilities. \n  \nJoin public and nonprofit leaders\, advocates\, parents\, students\, and the larger community in EXPLORING DISABILITY AND RACIAL EQUITY and DISCOVERING how we can ADVANCE JUSTICE within the education\, healthcare\, and justice systems.\n  \nThrough this FREE event\, participants will discover the importance of integrating disability and racial equity into their community work\, with insights from nationally-recognized disability and racial justice advocate Yomi Young. Attendees will also have the opportunity to join one of three sessions to learn how disability and racial disparities impact outcomes in the education\, health\, and justice systems\, as well as find solutions and best practices for promoting better access and support. \n  \nTogether\, we will examine how systemic practices affect members of the disability community and communities of color\, as well as unlock tangible steps we can take to create more just and equitable systems of care. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: Yomi Young is a writer\, public speaker\, consultant\, trainer\, activist and self-described disability justice dreamer who organizes at the intersection of disability\, climate justice and health equity. She works full-time in healthcare as an ethics and compliance manager\, ensuring patients with disabilities receive quality care. \n  \nYou must register in advance for this training: Registration Link
