Celebrating the life of disability advocate Judy Heumann
On Tuesday December 15th, you are warmly invited to a community screening of a new movie based on the true story of Judy Heumann.
In 1977, Heumann - along with over 100 disability advocates - staged the “504 Sit-In" a 28 day long peaceful protest fighting for the rights and dignity of disabled people to be signed into US federal law.
Heumann was described at fierce, unapologetic, compassionate and relentless, her advocacy and activism earning her the title “Mother of the Disability Rights Movement”.
We wish to invite those with a disability, along with their family, friends and carers to enjoy a movie that places their lived experience in the spotlight “front and centre”.
Please let us know at the time of booking, if you require a chair removed for wheelchair access or mobility aids, along with any other access requirements, so that we can reserve a comfortable space for you.
This event has been organised by a collection of Melbourne based disabled artists and advocates. We are very excited to share the evening with you.
