Urban Bush Woman CCI Workshop

Claudia Alick taught a masterclass in creating your own personal access riders and creating access riders for your dance troupe.

Access riders are documents that detail information about an individual’s access requirements. They can stop endless conversations about access by offering a considered and detailed list of what might be needed when, to enable employers, colleagues, and others to simply know how best to support someone without assumptions and guesswork. These articles introduce what an access rider is, where and how it can be used and what you might want to include in yours.

Access Doula

Calling up Justice integrates the role of The Access Doula as a design and facilitation role for live performance in digital and physically shared spaces. It is more empowered and centered than an access coordinator. This role is for folks who want to help monitor the gathering, looking for ways to help enhance access. They negotiate access with all cross-disability participants. This role is flexible by necessity and political inclination. The Access Doula serves to legitimize support-giving by naming it while reframing ideas around access in this hybrid virtual moment.

Just Transition

Calling Up Justice uses the Just Transition framework in much of it’s work. We highly recommend these resources from Movement Generation. They offer this framework as a humble point of departure for folks interested in building collective vision and action towards Ecological Justice that does not separate humans from nature, or social equity from ecological integrity. For more on Just Transition framework and strategies from MG and others: Read MG’s Just Transition Zine; Visit Climate Justice Alliance’s webpage on Just Transition and
check out their Just Transition Framework Adaptations page that showcases powerful adaptations of Just Transition framework by different communities in various languages, creative formats, and sector-specific lenses.

THE 2023 WOCA ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING

Calling Up Justice is happy to be helping to produce this virtual gathering of WOCA’s 13th Annual Membership Meeting. It’s been almost three years into these pandemics and women of color are doing it for ourselves. In a hat tip to the late, great Shirley Chisholm, the theme for WOCA’s 13th Annual Membership Meeting is “Unbothered and Unbossed” recognizing that while women of color have been disproportionately impacted by these pandemics and the oppressive systems which uphold them, we remain undeterred by the various challenges of our times. Women of color arts leaders continue to create, innovate, inspire, and lead – on our own terms
