The Intersection: Will meets way at Burning Man

from Crosscurrents · host KALW

July isn’t just Disability Pride Month, it’s also the time when lots of Bay Area folks are preparing to go to the festival in Nevada’s Black Rock desert: Burning man. And one group that goes each year exists at the intersection of disability advocacy and the values that guide the gathering.
