The Dis/Rep project is a yearly series of virtual engagements focused on disability representation and accessibility that began in 2020. It utilizes a variety of formats, including book club-style discussions, a Discord server for asynchronous participation, web content, and remote engagement activities. The project is designed to be an anti-ableist, anti-racist, queer, and trans-positive space, centering the needs and voices of the disability community.

During these calls, members introduce themselves, share their justice practices and future projects, and discuss how their marginalized identities influence their work. They also explore how they want others to connect with their work.
