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.

Disability Visibility

Calling Up Justice highly recommends the podcast Disability Visibility with Alice Wong: Disability Activist, Media Maker, Consultant. Alice Wong is a culture leader and we have collaborated on several projects. Disability Visibility featured conversations on disability politics, culture, and media.

Yo-Yo Lin Resilience Journal

Calling Up Justice believes in the art of self-reflection and journaling for empowerment. This tool designed by Yo-Yo Lin uses the idea of data-tracking as an objective tool for holding space for illness. Yo-Yo Lin seeks for The Resilience Journal to be a self-reflection, advocacy, and community-building tool, residing on the shoulders of Disability Justice giants.

Nap Ministry

Calling Up Justice believes that Rest is resistance and have been appreciating and supporting these ideas. In Rest Is Resistance, Tricia Hersey, aka the Nap Bishop, casts an illuminating light on our troubled relationship with rest and how to imagine and dream our way to a future where rest is exalted. Our worth does not reside in how much we produce, especially not for a system that exploits and dehumanizes us. Rest, in its simplest form, becomes an act of resistance and a reclaiming of power because it asserts our most basic humanity. We are enough. The systems cannot have us. We recommend you visit the Nap Ministry website and access more of these ideas from their blog and get the book!

Access Choreographies

Calling Up Justice coined the term “Access choreographies” to refer to the art of designing how people can move in all spaces to ensure accessibility. This includes considerations of access check-in, discussions of captions, reviewing accessible bathrooms, and more. Accessibility is defined as the quality of being easy to approach, enter, operate, participate in, or use. It is an important consideration in a variety of settings, from the home to the workplace to public spaces. We think all the world’s a stage so this term is ideal.

Transform Harm

TransformHarm.org is a resource hub for ending violence. We are not an organization. This site offers an introduction to transformative justice.

You can use what is there, and submit recommendations to be added to the focus areas listed here. We hope you will use these materials to foster your own education and also share them with your communities to build something new. Only together can we transform our relationships to each other and society. We hope that this site helps in this effort.
