Disability Inclusion: Required - Episode 24 - Cultivating Disability Solidarity in Philanthropy: A New Path Forward

Sandy Ho, the executive director of the Disability and Philanthropy Forum, and Marcus Walton, the president and CEO of Grantmakers for Effective Organizations, discuss the importance of solidarity and collective power in the disability community and social justice movements. They share personal stories and examples that illustrate how solidarity involves vulnerability, mutual support, and a long-term commitment to racial and disability justice even in the face of fear and discouragement. They conclude by naming several solidarity superstars - activists, philanthropists, and community leaders who have modeled the values of collective care and long-term, unconditional support.
