My wild dreaming has me longing to go deeper than just getting basic access. As my friend and comrade Stacey Milbern recently posted on Facebook, “Sometimes I feel impatient about how much ableism has forced us to emphasize accessibility … [But access] is only the first step in movement building. People talk about access as the outcome, not the process, as if having spaces be accessible is enough to get us all free. Disabled people are so much more than our access needs; we can’t have a movement without safety and access, and yet there is so much more still waiting for us collectively once we build this skillset of negotiating access needs with each other.”
