Disability justice is a vital framework in all work to end family poverty. Disability justice goes beyond legal rights or access—it calls for collective care, interdependence, and the dismantling of ableism alongside racism, sexism, classism, and other forms of systemic oppression.

Disability justice centers the experiences of those most impacted by injustice and affirms that all bodies—minds and ways of being—are worthy and whole.

For families impacted by poverty, both disability and chronic health conditions are often caused by inequality and worsened by the condition of poverty. This is one of the reasons why disability justice is core to our work.

CFE members impacted by disability and our Disability Justice Advisory Committee lead and shape our advocacy and work in the area of disability justice.
