Here’s a link to a film about a cross-disability collective that’s quite uplifting. Often we, as a nation, and I guess as a world, think accessibility is impossible and too expensive. So it’s delightful for me to see things like this film where we can see accessibility in action. I like that it’s a little slower — not the rush, rush everyone seems to be addicted to but is mostly an illusion. I also like the statement that stairs are accessibility for people who have legs. We just need to expand how we define accessibility. By making things as accessible as possible, we assure able-bodied people don’t age out of access to the places and the events that we get to enjoy when our bodies are younger. The film’s about 20 minutes long. I hope you enjoy it.
