Climate change has worsened global social inequalities and is also exacerbated by the systems that keep these inequalities in place. The effects of climate change also pose a threat to the right to health, as it affects clean air, drinking water, adequate housing, food, economic security, social relationships, and community life.

Heatwaves also disproportionately kill those who are institutionalized and who are in the margins. Confronted with ecological destruction, people experience emotional and existential distress that, at times, leads to hopelessness. Some research suggests that this may be especially true for younger generations who are likely to bear the brunt of these effects.

' There is a dangerous tale in the United States, one based on a myth of the deinstitutionalization of psychiatric asylums¹. Through this story, we are told that the asylum died and is a thing of the past. We are told that, now, “patients” have rights, are treated with human dignity, and are not criminalized for their neurodivergence. We’re told that restraints and forcible medication only happen in “extreme” cases. We’re told that the mental health care system is here to help us, support us, and “treat” us. And now, when abolition has entered mainstream discourse, we’re told that this very system should be considered an alternative to incarceration in jails and prisons. But those of us who have survived psychiatric incarceration know that not only did the asylum never die — it is, and always was, another prison. Knowing the truth of these myths, we work towards writing a new story.

As Hussein Abdilahi Bulhan states in his work Frantz Fanon: The Revolutionary Psychiatrist, “psychiatry like any therapy should be the meeting of two ‘free’ people.” In our current society, this could not be further from the truth. Every state (and Washington DC) allows for a person to be involuntarily held for “treatment, observation, or stabilization.” Though specifications vary by state, the three main forms of commitment are: emergency hospitalization for evaluation, involuntary inpatient commitment, and “assisted” outpatient treatment. This means that other people may decide (without your consent) that you present a risk to yourself or others, and need to be removed from or surveilled within your community for “treatment.” Though Disabled people have fought tirelessly for our right to live in the community, as we approach ADA 30, we must acknowledge the many existing loopholes that make our involuntary confinement in congregate settings a reality.

' ADA30 Lead On was established for the 30th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Our goal is to continue to bring recognition to the history, impact and purpose of the ADA through a celebration of diverse disabled artists, innovators and advocates and their allies.

At this time in our nation’s collective conscience, we are asked to confront the harsh realities that are residual echoes of the American ”dream.” As in every social justice movement in this nation, the Disability Rights Movement was born out of the unfulfilled parts of America's potential and its unrealized and inaccessible dream. Whether it be for suffragists, Freedom Riders, Stonewall rioters, Feminists, each arose as response and appeal to the nation - “Do better. BE better.” However, even in those movements, the roles of ableism and racism where and are quite prevalent. That simple truth is what makes this ADA 30 celebration even more significant. '
