Disability Inclusion: Required – Episode 31 – The Cost of Anti-DEI Policies

This episode of “Disability Inclusion Required” examines how contemporary attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are reshaping funding, policy, and everyday life for Black and disabled communities, while also exploring pleasure as a political and survival practice.

Our podcast theme music is by Andre Louis and Precious Perez. Thank you to Recording Artists And Music Professionals With Disabilities (RAMPD) for connecting these talented disabled musicians with the Disability & Philanthropy Forum.
