UUCC is restarting and revamping the Disability Justice and Inclusion Team (DJIT). The group will be specifically for people with various types of disabilities including chronic illness, neurodivergence, cognitive issues, brain injury, mental illness, physical disabilities, sensory disabilities, and more. This includes people who were born with or acquired a disability or are disabled through aging.

 

The group will serve as a support group, advise the board and minister on accessibility issues, provide the congregation education opportunities on disability rights issues, and potentially participate in activism, if there is interest and spoons.

 

We always need community, but even more so with the new wave of disability injustice that’s been growing since January. Come and share what your spirit is feeling and needing in this new, disabled and chronically ill-only space.

 

The early members of the group will help determine the focus and scope of activities. Meetings will be on the 4th Sunday at 12:15 in person and via zoom.
