Today, we reclaim the erased stories of disability liberation that capitalism and ableism have tried to bury. The Disability History Social Project reveals how disabled people have always been at the forefront of resistance movements, challenging a system that deems bodies "productive" or "disposable" based on their economic value.

Our society's ableist foundations aren't accidents, they're deliberate structures that maintain power by deciding whose lives matter. When we learn how disabled activists fought for access, dignity, and survival, we understand that disability justice is economic justice. The same forces that warehouse people in institutions are the ones that extract profit from detention centers and deny healthcare as a human right.

Today's Action:

• Explore the Disability History Social Project at https://disabilityhistory.org/

• Read stories of disability resistance that textbooks omit

• Connect disability oppression to other systems of control and exploitation

• Reflect on how ableism shapes immigration policy, policing, and economic exclusion

• Consider how your grief for ableist violence connects you to disabled communities fighting for liberation

This action is about recognizing disabled people as leaders in movements for collective liberation. When we understand disability history, we see how capitalism requires the myth of the "perfect worker" to justify abandoning those it cannot exploit.
