Access and Allies is a personal blog and resource navigation page dedicated to promoting accessibility and fostering alliances for the disabled community.

I believe that accessibility is a human right worth fighting for. More than that, it's a pillar of success and development: the community that has the resources to destroy oppressive barriers and build a more inclusive environment for everyone is far more successful in my eyes than the community that keeps its resources allocated to the select few.

Access: If it's inaccessible, it's unacceptable.

Allies: "What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor but the silence of the bystander." -Elie Wiesel

The people who have the most power in the fight for disabled rights are our able-bodied allies. Until the masses change the standard for what is acceptable for all of us, some of us will continue to be excluded.

A lawyer asked Jesus a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

LOVE is the principle by which we are to interpret the Law. Jesus's love is intersectional. It's unconditional.
