Had such a beautiful conversation with the incredible ImogenDay, Disability News Service & china mills (she/her) about loss, justice, & dreaming of a welfare system co-created with disabled people, for the Deaths by Welfare podcast (out later this year, previous episodes healingjusticeldn.org/deaths-by-welf…)

Such an incredible honour to be in conversation with ImogenDay and Disability News Service for the DeathsByWelfare podcast (out later this year). Learning about their sustained fight for truth and justice is utterly humbling.
