This event is free but due to limited space, RSVP through Eventbrite is required at bit.ly/WeMoveTogether.

As disabled and/or trans people whose bodies are pathologized and policed, how can we move together towards collective liberation? How do we reclaim self-love for our bodies, establish our autonomy, foster interdependence, and assert our right to exist in public space? How can we build cross-movement solidarity from an understanding that no one is disposable? How can artists advance our vision of a world where all body/minds are valued?

This event is organized in conjunction with Trans Life + Liberation, an art exhibit at the event space. It is co-sponsored by Sins Invalid, Peacock Rebellion, Barnard Center for Research on Women - BCRW, and CultureStrike.

Capacity is limited and due to the popularity of this event, we will be seating on a first-come, first-served basis.
