We need to be working together to solidify our abolitionist and disability justice politics and fight attempts to push eugenics and squash dissent.
This means returning to masking as a regular, everyday practice, as centring the most vulnerable continues to be our best path forward to liberation.
In true disability justice fashion, we approach the Covid-19 pandemic centering those most affected. We believe in taking all precautions during this ongoing pandemic, including but not limited to communal masking, air filtration, vaccination, and more. The organized abandonment of disabled and chronically ill individuals by both the government and the general public is a eugenic move that bolsters the current rise of fascism both within our own country and across the globe. #CovidIsNotOver
That is not to say that individuals who have made choices not to mask any longer are eugenicists and fascists, as the human psyche is much more complex than that, but intention does not negate the impact. It is imperative that we combat the rise of fascism and eugenics with an ethic of care centering those most affected. We must orient ourselves towards living each aspect of our lives, to the best of our abilities, caring for those around us. #CovidIsNotOver#Niagara#DisabilityJustice
