Accessibility, Solidarity, and Action from Home
At Calling Up Justice, we believe that civic engagement should be accessible to everyone. As a collective led by disabled organizers, we know firsthand the challenges many face when trying to participate in traditional forms of protest. That’s why we’re dedicated to creating inclusive, accessible virtual protest spaces—platforms where people can gather, grieve, learn, and take action together, even if they cannot physically attend in-person demonstrations.
Release Mahmoud Khalil
Our latest effort, in support of #ReleaseMahmoudKhalil, exemplifies our commitment to accessible civic engagement. For those who couldn’t attend protests in person, we published a dedicated section inside our Digital Encampment, where folks can:
- Access archived livestreams and resources,
- Join virtual gatherings to hold space with others in real time,
- Experience the larger community of care and action surrounding these events.
Visit the All Hands section to can access these resources and more. Enter through the main office area and the subway quick travel system.
