	As described by [https://www.peopleshub.org/people/aerik-woodams Aerik Woodams ] at [https://www.peopleshub.org/ People's Hub], individual access is often framed as extra work; that there are 'more important things to address'. Disabled and otherwise marginalized people ask us to do things differently. This might feel like work at first, but these efforts benefit all of us by giving us more strength, understanding and tools to build a better world.

			== Why is [[Accessibility]] Critical to Movement Spaces? ==

			<span>[https://accessculture.wordpress.com/2012/07/03/hello-world/ Access Culture] expands on definitions of accessibility, explaining:</span>

			''"For people who live on the margins, who have to fight to prove their existence, who are excluded from movements, who are subject to abuse in the form of isolation, having access to spaces means having access to community, to connection, to existence. When we make spaces accessible, when we build movements based on inclusion, we recognize that each person has an intrinsic value, that our existence is beautiful and necessary. Creating accessible spaces is about recognizing that connection is necessary, that community is necessary, that our culture is built on the myth of separation, the lie of disconnection. We must move from independence to interdependence in order to transform society."''

			***'''Colonialism can be disabling''' (e.g. Aamijiwnaang First Nation has been impacted by settler colonialism, capitalism and environmental racism.

			***'''Living in poverty can be disabling.'''
