12 x 12: Disability Communities
April 1 3pm CT \ Powderhorn Park Rec Center Gymnasium
A collaboration with and about folks with varying disabilities from across the Metro Area, it is estimated that at least 12% of the state’s population experience disability. 32 years after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, this community immerses itself in the values of the Disability Rights and Disability Justice movements—embracing the rallying cry of, “Nothing About Us Without Us.”
The Powderhorn Park neighborhood is known for the 66-acre park for which it is named, as well as events like the Powderhorn Art Fair and the May Day Festival & Parade. Although it has the dubious distinction of being where George Perry Floyd, Jr. was heinously murdered; it is one of four neighborhoods that abut George Floyd Square. Powderhorn activists, artivists, organizers, and organizations strive to ensure that George Floyd Square is resourced and cared for in a manner that meets the local and global calls for justice in all forms.
