Even though I worked for great orgs - the Haight Ashbury Free Clinics, Breast Cancer Action, Equal Rights Advocates, Legal Aid at Work,SF LGBT Community Center -- disability rights were often invisible/marginalied in my work spaces until 2011 when I came to DREDF. Before that, only Legal Aid at Work had had a disability rights lens.2021-09-19T03:55:54+00:00weekly0.6https://disabledindevelopment.org/2020/10/18/a-crip-in-philanthropy-stuff-i-know-as-a-fundraiser-who-has-muscular-dystrophy-and-why-its-past-time-for-mda-to-endthetelethon/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/mda-covid.jpgmda covidMDA-funded research clinics are diagnosis-and-referral for NMDs only.

Chart comparing a Fundraising Culture vs a Culture of Philanthropy. MDA's lack of disability cultural fluency and representation, medical-model limitations, preference for money over mission, and objectification of people with NMDs in their fundraising tactics indicate a culture of transactional fundraising.

If it's an honor for kids with disabilities to fund their own health care, then let's have all kids be poster children. Also: While my lizard brain loves the BS that I, the disabled child, "taught my parents what love *really* is, MDA telling siblings this during the Telethon is a crappy thing to do.https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/consent.pngconsentIn 2020, we need to understand this 2010 image in terms of consent as much as we do its financial transparency and fundraising ethics. The MDA needs to end their transactional narrative in which disabled children must exchange strangers touching them to obtain funding for their health care.https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/telethon-2.jpgtelethon 2Promoting the MDA Kevin Hart Kids Telethon by promising to include "fondly remember the classic moments from the Jerry's Kids Telethon," and "nostalgic footage" indicates that MDA's fundraising culture has not really reckoned with its internal ableism.2020-10-24T21:05:06+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/11/18/disabled-in-development-project-storyteller-10-catherine-hyde-townsend/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/townsend.jpgTownsendPhoto courtesy of Catherine Hyde Townsend2019-11-18T16:03:41+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/11/11/disabled-in-development-project-storyteller-9-alex-tabony/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/alex-tabony.jpgAlex TabonyPhoto courtesy of Alex Tabony2019-11-11T04:05:16+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/11/04/disabled-in-development-project-storyteller-8-emily-ladau/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/emily-ladau-e1572835243469.jpgEmily LadauPhoto courtesy of Emily Ladau2019-11-04T15:47:42+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/10/28/disabled-in-development-project-storyteller-7-judy-heumann/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/judithheumann.jpgJudithHeumannPhoto courtesy TEDX2019-10-28T03:13:52+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/09/09/disabled-in-development-project-storyteller-2-heather-watkins/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/hwatkins1-.jpgHeather WatkinsPhoto Courtesy of Heather Watkins2019-10-21T03:44:24+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/09/30/disabled-in-development-project-storyteller-5-tiffany-yu/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/tiffany_yu_cmx-e1569728382756.jpgtiffany_yu_cmxPhoto courtesy of Tiffany Yu2019-10-21T03:43:19+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/10/07/disabled-in-development-project-storyteller-6-cara-liebowitz/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/cara-liebowitz-2-e1570404320895.jpgcara liebowitz 2Photo courtesy of the Disabled and Proud Conferencehttps://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/cara-liebowitz.jpgCara LiebowitzPhoto courtesy of Cara Liebowitz2019-10-07T01:01:51+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/08/04/morethanmoney-turning-disability-into-social-capital-in-philanthropy/2019-09-29T23:56:53+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/09/23/disabled-in-development-project-storyteller-4-marsha-saxton/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/saxton-e1569188600839.jpgSaxtonPhoto courtesy of Marsha Saxton2019-09-23T03:16:46+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/09/16/disabled-in-development-project-storyteller-3-alice-wong/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/awong_2018.jpgAWong_2018Photo courtesy of Alice Wong.2019-09-16T14:40:56+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/09/02/disabled-in-development-project-storyteller-1-sandy-ho/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/sandy-ho.jpgSandy Ho2019-09-02T17:04:45+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/08/29/celebrate-ourdisabledlaborday-with-the-disabled-in-development-project/2019-08-29T23:45:07+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/06/23/frequently-asked-questions/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/hexagon-sample-e1561251074524.jpghexagon sample2019-08-29T17:07:43+00:00monthlyhttps://disabledindevelopment.org/2019/07/21/behind-the-did-project-one-story-about-secrecy-silence-and-stigma-at-work-in-fundraising-and-philanthropy/https://disabledindevelopment.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/iceberg-ales-utovko.jpgUnderwater view of iceberg with beautiful transparent seaThose of us who can tell our stories openly about disability, chronic illness, and aging in philanthropy and fundraising are the tip of the iceberg. Our numbers are small compared to those who feel compelled to keep that aspect of who they are hidden under the water-line.
