	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.

	First and foremost, taking care of one's disabled body is radical activism. As described by Audre Lorde, caring for bodies that do not fit the favoured white, male, cisgender, able-bodied ‘ideal’ set by western, capitalist, individualist norms, is political. <ref>https://www.mentalhealthtoday.co.uk/blog/awareness/why-acknowledging-and-celebrating-the-black-feminist-origins-of-self-care-is-essential</ref>		First and foremost, taking care of one's disabled body is radical activism.

	There can be a tendency in movement spaces to debate what the 'best' way to take action is. Many disabled people (and also non-disabled people) must factor in things such as energy levels, physical ability, transportation, scheduling requirements (e.g. medication, appointments etc) when thinking about how they'll participate in activism. '''There are many things we can do to support these needs at our events and actions, as outlined in this guide.''' '''We should recognize, value, and encourage the diversity of ways one can meaningfully contribute to grassroots movements.''' Our movements are not successful without them!

	I experienced a severe burnout and, from it, developed chronic health issues and new access needs. This meant the very fast-paced and demanding organizing I was participating in was no longer accessible to me (I tried, and my health suffered for it). I now have to consider things like... will I be able to seek accommodations for my, now heightened, sensory needs at this meeting/event/action? Will I have enough time after to recover, so that I'll have the energy and manageable pain to do daily living activities in the following days? I've learned to appreciate the other meaningful ways I can contribute, that aren't as taxing on my body/brain, more often. I feel best in an educator role, translating information for popular education and outreach purposes.

Let them lead; listen and take a step back. For folks that want to work in coalition with disability justice activists, let them lead, listen to what they need and work with them, not for them. You need to recognize who is missing from your table, your spaces, as climate justice activists. Disability justice activists have so much to teach folks, just as climate justice activists do. It's a mutual relationship. Prioritize access. Meeting access needs often requires a lot of money. But, if you do have money, ask what you're prioritizing. Are interpreters more important, or markers and posters? We will show up if we know we are wanted. Are you opening that door?</span>
