I think we need more people doing building alternatives work, helping to build the things that will be alternatives to the current systems that we have. ‘Cause right now, one of the things that helps to maintain the current horrible systems that we have is that they consistently are, pretty much the only viable alternatives. If we do Disability Justice work then, as we get disabled people out of abusive and horrible and horribly violent group homes, we can say that our communities are actually a better place to be, because right now, that’s actually not necessarily always the case – we can’t guarantee that our communities will be safer.
