We invite you to this circle to learn about conditions that disabled people often face during climate disasters, common needs that arise and how Off the Grid Missions and the Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies have responded on-the-ground. Participants will also be invited to begin mapping out a plan to survive climate disaster with an emphasis on disabled people in your networks.

Accessibility:

Access requests, including interpretation and captioners, can be made during registration or by emailing Dustin Gibson at dustin@peopleshub.org.  Requests for interpreters and captioners that are made less than 48 hours before the event typically are more difficult to meet. We will try and notify you if we cannot secure requested access. 

Issues with Registration?

If you have questions about this offering or technical needs registering for this event, please contact registration support.

Cost: Free! Though we appreciate donations from those who can afford to do so.

At PeoplesHub we are committed to communication access, radical hospitality, supporting facilitators, and making our offerings financially accessible. Donations allow us to continue offering programs like this one and pay speakers, tech support leads, interpreters, captioners, and other support staff a fair wage for their time and expertise. Like you, those who support our trainings work hard for change in their communities and have often developed the knowledge, skill and gifts that they are offering through many unpaid hours — let’s support them to be sustainable in their work and craft!
