For AANHPI Heritage Month, we asked three disabled AANHPI leaders who inspires them and why. Krystal Kavita Jagoo @equitableforall.com speaks about how Alice Wong created the Crips for eSims for Gaza initiative with Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha and Jane Shi, and asks folks to contribute.

A light blue background. At the top, there is a dark red geometric shape made up of circles, semicircles, and quarter circles in the middle and dark blue and pink geometric line shapes on either side. Below that is a circular image of Krystal Kavita Jagoo, a fat brown queer disabled immigrant woman. She has a black pixie cut, and wears black and brown glasses, and hanging earrings. She is smiling, and wears a white top with black spots, and a black cardigan. There are dark red geometric framing sections on either side of the photo. Underneath that, it reads “Krystal Kavita Jagoo (she/her) in bold dark red text. Then, there is Krystal’s bio written in black text: “Krystal Kavita Jagoo is a fat disabled Indo-Trinidadian femme, who settled on Turtle Island in 1999. Despite no longer being a registered social worker after witnessing her regulatory body fail to even call for a ceasefire to Palestinian genocide throughout 2024, Jagoo's Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and Master of Social Work degree both inform her efforts as a Disability Justice practitioner through her organization, Intersectional Equity Insights.” At the bottom is the teal Disability Culture Lab logo.

i really do think they believe that because they're "good" on policy that they don't owe people anything on a human level, and if you're a woman who believes in the same policies but also understands the capacity even "good" men have to be cruel then you're weak

For Earth Day, we must recognize that environmental justice, disability justice, and climate justice are one fight! Climate change and environmental racism are disabling — from extreme heat to super storms, and from fossil fuel extraction to processing. Read more below. (1/4)

On a bright blue background, teal text reads “Environmental Justice, Disability Justice, and Climate Justice are one fight.” Underneath, the subheading reads “Climate change and environmental racism are disabling — from extreme heat to super storms, and from fossil fuel extraction to processing.” Below is the teal Disability Culture Lab logo. At the top is a blue circle with two semicircles on either side, with a green geometric shape in the center. The same shape is repeated at the bottom of the slide.

Something I am curious about: Elizabeth Warren had arguably the most comprehensive disability policy in the 2020 presidential campaign (alongside Buttigieg, Sanders and Castro). What are her thoughts on Platner's frequent use of the r-word?
