E26: "All Lives Matter" and Performative Activism

Disabled Girls Who Lift

All three hosts unite to discuss the problem with saying “all lives matter” especially during this time of national civil unrest. Marcia provides listeners with the tools to determine whether someone is a performative activist or true ally. The hosts break down what the current political climate in the strength community is by taking a closer look at the stances made or silence chosen by federations and companies.

Hosts for this episode: Marcia Darbouze (@thatdoc.marcia), Chloe Lansing (@chlo.mae.l), Marybeth Baluyot (@merrbertt)

A message from DGWL: We do our very best to ensure we are inclusive to all members of the community. Not very many podcasts consider the deaf and hard-of-hearing population, but we applaud those who do and challenge those who don’t. That said, we are looking for volunteers to help us transcribe future episodes--there are transcriptions available online for our current episodes--but we still need help! Please send us a message on our website--www.disabledgirlswholift.com--if you have transcribing experience and are interested in joining the crew!
