About this listen

In this collection of essays, Lambda Literary Award-winning writer and longtime activist and performance artist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha explores the politics and realities of disability justice, a movement that centers the lives and leadership of sick and disabled queer, trans, Black, and brown people, with knowledge and gifts for all.

Care Work is a mapping of access as radical love, a celebration of the work that sick and disabled queer/people of color are doing to find each other and to build power and community, and a tool kit for everyone who wants to build radically resilient, sustainable communities of liberation where no one is left behind. Powerful and passionate, Care Work is a crucial and necessary call to arms.

I think this should be required reading for all humans. Leah does an incredible job capturing and sharing queer crip stories of resilience, joy, and pain. She provides an approachable insight into the structures that marginalize Mad and Disabled people, as well as telling incredibly real and deeply heart warming stories of community resiliency, creativity, community, and care. This book made me laugh, cry, and think deeply.

This book is so important. As an occupational therapist, I recommend for anyone in caring "roles" in society.

Piepzna-Samarasinha shows Incredible leadership, having done so much work gathering full disability perspectives. She shows us why the QTBIPOC marginalized experience needs to lead with the development of crip knowledge, crip history and crip wealth. I can’t recommend this book enough. For abled and disabled people, marginalized or not.

The history I knowledge the whole world needs!
