What does disability justice look like in the workplace?

What does it mean for a workplace to be truly accommodating for all? How can we advocate for more people-first workplaces? Where are governments and companies failing us and how can we better protect each other?  Labour reporter Gabriela Calugay-Casuga sits down with Brad Evoy, the executive director with Disability Justice Network of Ontario to discuss all this and more.  About our guest Brad Evoy is the executive director with Disability Justice Network of Ontario. Brad is a member of the Qalipu Mi'kmaq First Nation and has worked across Ontario and Newfoundland as a governance and community organizing nerd. His experiences as a Disabled person—with Cerebral Palsy and high myopic vision—have helped ground him in community and the interlocking fight for justice. DJNO was founded in 2018 by racialized, disabled community members in Hamilton, Ontario to build a world where disabled people are free to be, able to thrive and grow in community together, and have the power to hold the powerful to account. The Disability Justice Network of Ontario (DJNO) aims to build a just and accessible Ontario, wherein people with disabilities: have personal and political agency; can thrive and foster community; and build the power, capacity, and skills needed to hold people, communities, and institutions responsible for the spaces they create.
