Jonathan will be joining fellow panelists and community leaders to explore what it really means to **navigate, resist, and reimagine life in an ableist world.** Expect open, honest dialogue about accessibility, identity, and the future of inclusive design—on the streets *and* on the screens. --- ## **What We’re Hoping to Explore** Disability justice isn’t just about awareness—it’s about **action**. We’re showing up to listen, learn, and amplify. To celebrate disabled voices that lead the way in creativity, resilience, and advocacy. This is a space where: 🌱 Lived experience meets collective imagination. 💬 Allies learn how to *actually* help. 🤝 The community comes together to dismantle barriers, both physical and systemic. --- ## **What’s In It for You** Whether you identify as disabled, are an ally, or simply want to grow in your understanding, this event will offer: ✨ Real stories from real people living at the intersection of ability, identity, and justice. 🛠️ Tools for meaningful allyship (the kind that goes beyond hashtags). 💖 Space to connect with Long Beach neighbors who care deeply about doing good, not just looking good. Oh—and yes, there will be good vibes, new friends, and *very* Reel-worthy moments. --- ## **Meet Us There!** [If you’re attending, come say hi 👋 — we’d love to connect! ](https://cagdc.share.hsforms.com/24Ll5Ic73Tmq713OnxwJRjw) Meet us at **Feminist Café #2** to chat, share stories, and dream up a more accessible future together.
