DIYabled Allyship Panel

Join advocates and organizers from six sectors of Asheville's grassroots ecosystem to learn more about what allyship looks like in our community! This panel discussion will include Tiffany De’Bellot (Center for Participatory Change), Jen Hampton (Just Economics), Ron Katz (WNC Nonpartisan Voting Group), Christian Chambers (Counterflow), Sergio Fernandez (Latino Advocacy Caoalition), and Priya Ray (DIYabled).

This event is organized by DIYabled, a grassroots group that believes DIY spaces are essential to creating a healthy thriving community. To support thriving community, DIY spaces need to be inclusive and accessible to people of all races, genders, sexual orientation and ability. The goal of DIYabled is to provide a place where we can ALL work together as a community to find solutions to make DIY spaces accessible to People Living with Disabilities (PLD).

To increase accessibility for high risk community members, Firestorm requires masking at all indoor events. Learn more
