From Rooted in Rights:
The Rooted in Rights blog has launched a new call for submissions, inviting disabled writers to share their survival and perseverance strategies in a 500-word blog piece.
This new call focuses on gathering specific resources that can help disabled individuals and communities adapt and survive these turbulent times.
We’re interested in sharing resources ranging from organizing tips, strategies on getting basic needs met, highlighting a direct service organization, to things that bring you joy, books, comedy or media recommendations, accessibility work arounds, tips for finding community, strategies for rest, and strategies for resistance.
Rooted in Rights welcomes pitches that emphasize the disability community’s creativity, resistance and ingenuity, with a focus on specific resource sharing and mutual support. Writers have the option to publish their work anonymously.
