A Ted Talk from Judith Heumann<\/p>\n
Our fight for disability rights — and why we’re not done yet<\/a>\u00a0Judith Heumann \u2022 TEDxMidAtlantic – 17 minutes<\/p>\n Four decades ago, Judith Heumann helped to lead a groundbreaking protest called the Section 504 sit-in — in which disabled-rights activists occupied a federal building for almost a month, demanding greater accessibility for all. In this personal, inspiring talk, Heumann tells the stories behind the protest — and reminds us that, 40 years on, there’s still work left to do.\u00a0Judith Heumann.com<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n From the\u00a0Women & Gender Center<\/a>\u00a0(a program of CII: the Center for Identity and Inclusion):<\/p>\n The Body Project – March 7th and 14th from 3:30-6:00 PM\u00a0Register for the Body Project Today!<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n This proven 4-hour program empowers women and non-binary students to: What\u2019s fun about The Body Project? The sessions break down our understanding of beauty standards and challenge how we see ourselves. The sessions are broken up into two 2-hour sessions, held one week apart. You will be part of a small group of women and non-binary students discussing the appearance ideal and how to fight back against it.<\/p>\n The proposed intention of this project is to begin a conversation around women and femme-presenting bodies and the rigorous expectations placed on them. Please be aware that stereotypically \u201cfeminine\u201d pronouns are the default for this session, but extra accommodations have been made to make sure that the basic information learned is applicable to all genders.<\/p>\n You can request The Body Project for you and your friends\/organization by emailing us at\u00a0<\/b>cii@ucdenver.edu<\/b>.<\/b><\/p>\n Please note: the Body Project is not group therapy or treatment for eating disorders.
