Every civil rights movement has a story. This is one you may not know.
Join us for a free screening of the award-winning documentary Crip Camp, a true story of a group of disabled young adults who found community at a summer camp and went on to build one of the most influential civil rights movements in American history.
More than a film about disability, Crip Camp is a story of grassroots organizing, courageous leadership, and the power of ordinary people coming together to demand justice. It explores how relationships, collective action, and a shared vision for equality sparked a movement that transformed laws, communities, and countless lives.
Whether you’re a community leader, nonprofit professional, educator, advocate, elected official, student of history, or simply someone who believes in creating stronger communities, this film offers timeless lessons about coalition-building, civic engagement, and the enduring power of people working together to create lasting change.
Following the film, stay for a panel discussion featuring local leaders and advocates who will discuss the history of the disability rights movement, and how the lessons of Crip Camp continue to shape community organizing and social change today. Audience members will also have the opportunity to ask questions and join the conversation.
Come be inspired by a movement that reminds us that meaningful change begins when people find community, organize together, and refuse to accept the status quo.
