DREAM April Message

DREAM just hosted its first ever Disability in Media Watch Party Bonanza! After watching some Finding Nemo and Avatar clips, we had a great conversation on disability representation in media and how physical and mental disability representation could affect how children and society perceive disability, as well as what we thought was done well and what could be improved.

We hope you can join us for our next DREAM meeting on Wednesday, May 5th from 5:15-6:00pm. We will continue discussing our mission and advocacy opportunities, brainstorming future DREAM events, and planning recruitment efforts for Summer and Fall 2021.

DREAM is seeking those interested in disability justice leadership roles! DREAM has two co-chairs and is looking to create more supportive leadership positions to ensure a cohesive, self-sustaining group. Leaders will be assisting with communication and outreach efforts, program creation, and disability advocacy efforts on campus. This opportunity is a great way to build leadership skills, get involved in grassroots organizing, and make new friends!

Please email DREAM@ssw.umaryland.edu if this interests you!

We look forward to connecting with you soon!

Dana Kobrin, DREAM Co-Chair
