SUMMARY:Patrice: The Movie
DESCRIPTION:All screenings of this film will be presented with open captions. \n  \nPatrice: The Movie shines a light on a remarkable crusader for disability rights\, confronting systemic failures while foregrounding joy through the energy of Patrice Jetter and her friends. \n  \nMeet Patrice Jetter\, a beloved school crossing guard in her New Jersey town. She carries herself with uncommon optimism and vigour despite\, as a disabled person\, constantly having to navigate a world that was not built with her in mind. She has a passion for figure skating\, model trains\, and making art of all kinds. \n  \nShe’s planning to finally get married to her partner Garry\, who is a wheelchair user. They come to learn that U.S. law has an unexpected penalty: when two people receiving Social Security disability benefits or Medicaid want to get married or even move in together\, their financial support is cut. Patrice and Garry fight to stay together in a system designed to keep them apart. \n  \nFilmmaker Ted Passon has known Patrice for 20 years\, witnessing both her creativity and her battles against government bureaucracy. For Patrice: The Movie\, he works closely with an all- star group of collaborators including disabled team members: producer Kyla Harris (We Might Regret This)\, executive producer and sound designer James LeBrecht (Crip Camp)\, composer Molly Joyce\, and others. \n  \nThe film is largely observational\, but it does include playful theatrical sequences in which Patrice recreates memories\, playing herself alongside a cast of children. She co-wrote the scenes and designed the sets. The film strikes a well-judged balance between confronting systemic failures and foregrounding joy through the energy of Patrice and her friends. It’s a vital call to action that leads with care and love.

SUMMARY:No Protest Without Us: Tips and Tools for Protestors with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:The disability rights movement has a history of using radical and effective protest tactics to achieve lasting change\, and disabled people have been and continue to be an essential part of all civil rights movements. Actions such as the ‘Capitol Crawl’ and Section 504 Sit-ins illustrate the importance of including people with disabilities in protest efforts of all kinds. \n  \nThis webinar will outline what to expect as a protestor with a disability before and throughout a protest\, as well as during potential police interactions. Longtime disability justice activist\, Anita Cameron\, and Cop City protestor and jail support organizer Adele MacLean\, will share stories and wisdom from their many years of direct action. The webinar will also include information for organizers to use while planning accessible protests. This training is meant to help disabled protestors understand their rights and best practices while participating in an action – as well as ideas for organizers to make protests more accessible – and is not a substitute for legal advice. \n  \nDREDF\, DLU and CLDC have developed a Pocket Guide for Protesting While Disabled\, and a comprehensive Know Your Rights For Disabled Protestors Guide that will be released and made accessible on the DREDF\, DLU and CLDC websites by the webinar date. \n\n  \nYou must register in advance for this training: \n  \nRegistration Link

SUMMARY:What the Grants Pass Decision Means for People with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:On June 28\, 2024\, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a case called City of Grants Pass\, Oregon v. Johnson (“Grants Pass”) that fining and jailing people experiencing homelessness for sleeping outside when they have nowhere else to go does not violate the cruel and unusual punishments clause of the constitution. The decision has given states and local governments the go ahead to make criminalization their primary\, front-line response to homelessness and has had devastating effects on the civil rights of thousands of unhoused people across the United States. \n  \nThis webinar will: \n· Provide an overview of the Grants Pass case and the disability-related “friend of the court” briefs filed in the case; \n· Explain why people with disabilities are particularly at-risk of harm due to the increased criminalization of homelessness; \n· Explore the relationship between the Grants Pass case\, CARE Courts/civil commitments\, and efforts to increase the institutionalization of disabled people; \n· Critique the role of law enforcement and judicial authorities in responding to homelessness; and \n· Provide an overview of advocacy tools and strategic thinking regarding potential next steps in advocacy. \n\n  \nYou must register in advance for this training: \n  \nRegistration Link
