Disability Power PDX values

Accessible, Equitable, and Actively Anti-Racist

The City of Portland’s Disability Program is committed to Disability Power PDX being accessible, equitable, and actively anti-racist. As part of living these committments, during Disability Power PDX, we will practice lifting up the voices and experiences of historically underrepresented individuals and communities. We will practice challenging oppressive remarks and behaviors. We will practice accessibility and accommodation as part of our way of being in space and with each other.

Concretely Recognizing Community Contributions

To support equitable participation, each Disability Power PDX Member received a stipend to recognize their time and contribution to the City of Portland, and all sessions included lunch. Childcare and transportation support was provided.

Thank you for your interest in Disability Power PDX!
