    8 Ways Ableism Shows Up In Religious Spaces

    A Just List from the Unbound Team names eight ways ableism appears in faith communities, a set of choices that often leaves People with Disabilities overlooked and pushed aside by churches. Ramps and access sit out of view, prayers and songs lean on seeing, hearing, and walking, and theology casts disability as a burden or promises healing to those with enough faith. People with Disabilities also meet tokenism, get seen as a disability and nothing more, are treated as children, and are offered charity in place of empowerment. Removing these barriers starts with plans made together with People with Disabilities. We should start with the next program, service, event, or communication in planning.
