I am desperate to learn more about how I can use social networking to bring together women with disabilities in protest and celebration. We are the largest and most oppressed minority in the world. Societal devaluing has rendered us invisible and our issues are rarely heard. Witness what happened in the Japan tsunami -- we were literally left behind.
How can we act in the face of overwhelm in our context?
