[Libs-Or] Anti-filicide toolkit for the Disability Day of Mourning

[Marci Jenkins]

Thank you so much for your advocacy Bryce! Murder should never be treated or seen as “understandable”. Ableism is as real as racism.
 Libraries and library professionals can help foster acceptance and Inclusion, provide resources and promote community accountability.
We can all work together to create a safe, healthy and thriving environment for people with disabilities.

Thanks again for these excellent resources!

Best,
Marci

March 1st of every year is observed as the Disability Day of Mourning to remember disabled victims of filicide–disabled people murdered by their family members or caregivers. The memorial site can be found here<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/2l4UCOY295F6z4qhECiaC>.

I wanted to be sure to share this Anti-filicide toolkit <https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/8_pRCPN9J5H78MyF0pcT8> created by the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. As trusted members of our communities, library staff and other information professionals can help as a support for the disability community and caregivers. I've written about some small ways we can be inclusive and disrupt isolation in the past:

Thank you for reading and considering!
