You are invited to the next virtual Dreaming Disability Justice Convening for Minnesota from 6:00 to 7:30 pm Central on Thursday, January 19, 2023!
This Dreaming DJ Convening is the third in a series of convenings created by Mai Thor, a Bush Fellow.

These virtual convenings, held on Zoom, are a way of bringing the Minnesota community together to learn about and build together on disability justice. In each convening, we dream of what each DJ principle can bring us in our fight for liberation.
