Disability and Just Transition

A year ago we set up a Just Transition Circle to bring people from underrepresented and marginalised experiences together as part of February’s Transition Assembly. Since then the group has continued to meet and work together, becoming a vital part of our National Circle work, and designing tools to help with grassroots engagement and inclusion.
This blogpost and disability justice video resource has been written and put together by Amanda Jones, a member of the Just Transition Circle who uses her lived experience to explore disability justice.
Disability Justice Slideshow
It is difficult navigating life with choices, care and interests. But then anyone becomes disabled. This adds a whole new dimension to everything. Things which were easy are difficult at a time when you need them to be easier. I choose to adapt and face the daily challenges with a firm ‘take one thing at a time’. It is a slower pace which somehow fits into my busy life, getting things done. The pure interpretation of ‘more haste, less speed’.
Creating this Disability Justice slideshow shares my personal story as lived experience. It is a format and model which you are open to adapt and use for your own.
Woven into the slides are words you can think about and add to, perhaps in a presentation setting. There are thoughts on intersectionality and how all different bodies and minds link into the disability frame.
Working with Just Transition brings such joy and learning. Please interact with the video we filmed as I presented the slides and bring it to your own thinking. I share my story to help and empower your lives.
