"When people understand that their story matters, that they’re not alone, that they have the power to demand change alongside others—that’s when fear turns into action... Meeting people where they are, honoring their lived experience, and organizing through access and love. Disability Justice teaches us that our survival is political, that interdependence is our strength, and that relationships are the infrastructure of movements."

Throwing it back this #TBT to October! Hand in Hand's Lead Homecare Organizer, Brittanie Hernandez-Wilson, took part in Change Philanthropy 2025 Unity Summit in Minneapolis. Alongside movement leaders they spoke about what it takes for organizations (and funders) to Commit to Change– invest in movements and fight for our future– during these challenging times.

“We must rewrite the story. Disabled people are strong, disabled people are powerful, disabled people are beautiful. Once we do that, then we can say, I can do all of this. I am able to do all of this. And that’s how we get the agency.”

This International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we’re listening to comedian, actor, activist and Hand in Hand NJ member leader, The Steve Way speak on Finding our Agency from last month’s #CareFest. He spoke powerfully about what it means to find agency— and empowerment— as a disabled person, and how we can create a world where we harness that energy not only to fight for ourselves, but for ALL of us.

This year’s theme is “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for social progress.” A vision for building a just and inclusive world. A vision that for us, begins in our homes— because care is a portal. 💜
