UC Access NowUC is celebrating <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NDEAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NDEAM</a> by publishing a photo that doesn't credit the photographer and says "Photographed at the Student Disability Resource Center" so you really have no idea if it was done with informed consent and model release.That is to illustrate a request by UC that employees fill out a survey to identify if they're disabled.Not to make our public university the highest common denominator level of accessible by default, not to implement the Demandifesto Action Steps, but "The information we collect helps us ensure that UC locations are accessible and welcoming to persons with disabilities. "It's very easy to be accessible. Just do it.

UC Access NowOctober is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) in the US. Too bad it isn't Ableism Awareness Month because the problem isn't that disabled people "don't want to work". The problem is that employers have been allowed all along to get away with not having accessible workplaces & actively discriminating.People think the Americans with Disabilities Act solves this, but ADA leaves it up to individual disabled people to sue. Suing costs $, which the majority of disabled people do not have. The DoJ and DoL should have been enforcing accessibility and anti-ableism in society for at least 34 years now. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NDEAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NDEAM</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ableism</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UCAccessNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UCAccessNow</a> <a href="https://www.dol.gov/agencies/odep/initiatives/ndeam" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.dol.gov/agencies/odep/initiatives/ndeam</a>

UC Access NowMeaningless platitudes from outgoing UC Berkeley Chancellor Christ, who cares so much about "shared humanity" that she lied to those who wrote to her in 2020 urging her to read & act on the Demandifesto steps. <a href="https://archive.org/details/disability-equity-and-justice-demands" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.org/details/disability-equity-and-justice-demands</a>Even the unsolicited flaccid offer to book UC Access Now to speak during October's <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NDEAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NDEAM</a> (in response to emails sent in JULY) was a lie. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UCAccessNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UCAccessNow</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEd</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NeoliberalHellhole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NeoliberalHellhole</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ableism</a>

UC Access NowUS Dept. of Labor just announced the theme for this year's National Disability Employment Awareness Month. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NDEAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NDEAM</a> is a bit problematic in itself. While disabled people deserve accessible workplaces, the focus seems to be on our "productivity" and selling us to employers rather than our intrinsic worth as human beings, regardless of "productivity".Furthermore, US DOL should be working with US DOJ to prosecute every school & workplace that isn't compliant with minimums (much less real accessibility & inclusion). Instead the focus is on feel-good stuff for ableist employers.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1uTmUw-EYE" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1uTmUw-EYE</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UCAccessNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UCAccessNow</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Labor</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ableism</a>

UC Access NowDon't take speaker bios at face value.While Chancellor Christ was one of the few who responded to UC Access Now's campaign to get the Gov, Board of Regents and chancellors to move on the Demandifesto Action Steps, she actually promised performative things like booking us for <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NDEAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NDEAM</a> then didn't even follow up on that.You can use this event as an opportunity to ask what Chancellor Christ did to move on the Demandifesto Action Steps.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ableism</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UCBerkeley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UCBerkeley</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/UCAccessNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UCAccessNow</a> <a href="https://huntington.org/why-it-matters" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://huntington.org/why-it-matters</a>
