Rosemary reached out to Calling Up Justice and connected with the DJ1 group, which includes Calling Up Justice, One Free Community, and Disability Justice Culture Club to support their work. Joining a crip resilience hub offers the opportunity to tap into the resources and build capacity within the disability community to help us build a world where we thrive. We are providing our resources and skills to support this community driven organizing and getting the word out to our local communities to support this effort.

The first event included food donations and shared disruption of resources among our community members after the removal of existing food benefits. Rosemary and their friends and community sent messages in group chats and hung up flyers around their neighborhood to collect donations and redistribute food, clothes, art, covid supplies, and other essential resources to support the community in need. They want to keep this going and began reaching out to local organizations to get help in continuing to organize this work.
