Welcome to the Resistance.
In July 2025, during Disability Pride Month, an administration hostile to disabled lives issues executive orders aiming to erase us from public life—dismantling civil rights, attacking accessibility, and deeming disabled people disposable. They believe they can legislate us out of existence, but they are wrong. Disability pride isn’t just a celebration—it’s survival and resistance. It’s about claiming space in a world built to exclude us and recognizing our bodies and minds as sources of knowledge and revolutionary potential. This syllabus shows that disabled people have endured every effort to erase us, building underground networks, creating survival tech, and imagining inclusive futures. We are still here, actively creating the world we need. This isn’t just academic—it’s emergency mutual aid in disguise. Each module offers historical context for current attacks along with tools for resistance, survival, and world-building, featuring open-source articles, videos, zine resources, and action guides. Designed to be shared and remixed, it centers disabled people of color, multiply-marginalized disabled folks, and those under the hardest attack—because when the most vulnerable are free, all are free. Take what helps you, share what helps others, and remember: they want us to disappear. Our pride, persistence, and refusal to be erased are our power. Ready to resist, build, and survive together?

Our survival depends on interdependence—No one is truly free alone.
Knowledge comes from many sources—Academic texts, community wisdom, artistic expression, and lived experience.
Education prepares us for action—Learning to survive, resist, and build the future we need.
The most marginalized illuminate the way—Centering those facing the harshest attacks guides us all toward freedom.
