What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now. A chant that is used for every protest against injustice. Although it is empowering to be a part in making a change and fighting against injustice, I often wonder why it even takes place to begin with. This whole course has been about people fighting for their rights and justice, but when you think about it, they are literally just fighting to be treated fair or equal, which breaks my heart. Especially in our last section of invisible, chronic, and neurodivergent disabilities it just further saddens me to know that the injustice seems to be endless. As I’ve tried to learn about more subjects, I find it weird that some people could deny anyone basic human rights. Watching every person with a different color, gender, or disability get mistreated gets exhausting, and I am just a watcher. I cant imagine the exhaustion that someone struggling with this must feel, and I want to help in any was possible
Growing up very sheltered and naive to the hardships of the world I was very unaware of many of the injustices that took place, but also the subject themselves such as autism, chronic illnesses. How invisible something can be to everyone else but the person that has it, and in that case it takes so much room up in their life. I’ve recently got diagnosed with a chronic illness, and it wasn’t until recently that I’ve seen how much time and effort it takes up. I understand that its not the same as a lot of subjects learned about in class, but its given me more compassion for the people who deal with so much more that i was naive to beforehand. Although I can’t blame myself or my family for never understanding subjects, I now sit and wonder how I can make up for the time I went around not knowing about these disabilities. I want to be an ally or a partner, but understandably, I know some groups don’t want people to stand with them, but instead to highlight them, and I want to know how to do that (if thats the best thing to do).

Hello! I really appreciate your viewpoint on disability. It’s so dishearteningly easy for people who are not disabled to bury our heads in the sand and refuse to acknowledge how inaccessible and non understand the world is. I also appreciate that this post is not assuming what people who are disabled needs. It isn’t you trying to insert yourself into a situation, it’s asking what seems like the right questions to stand with or stand behind those whose issues should have more support.
I share a lot of the same sentiments you have here. I grew up in a household where it was normal to talk down on disabled and inhumanized persons for no good reason. It is so difficult to even know where to start to be an ally to these huge communities, but knowledge is always a good first step.
