“Cure dismisses resilience, survival, the spider web of fractures, cracks and seams. Its promises hold power precisely because none of us want to be broken. But I’m curious: what might happen if we were to accept, claim, embrace our brokenness?” "]

While Eli Clare is not from or directly associated with Washington State, he is from the Pacific Northwest & it features prominently in much of his work.

[GLSEN Washington @glsenwa]

On the right it reads, "Eli Clare grew up in the Pacific Northwest and is a white, disabled, genderqueer poet, storyteller, and social justice educator. He views disability, as a place of empowerment, not something to be "cured."
