The Disability Pride Project
Critical Links
This is by no means a complete web resource list. It is a tool for people with disabilities and our allies who are interested in learning more about disability culture and history. As you browse these sites, the relationship between the oppression of people with disabilities and the widespread abuse that we often face may become clearer. This list may also provide you with a sense of what liberation for people with disabilities can look like.
