Center for Independent Living - Berkeley

What does true collective liberation require of us?

Join us and DREDF on July 28 for the Let's Talk About the Problem Book Tour featuring Dara Baldwin, author of To Be a Problem: A Black Woman's Survival in the Racist Disability Rights Movement.

Drawing from decades of advocacy and policymaking, Baldwin explores the intersections of race, disability, power, and belonging, challenging all of us to build movements that leave no one behind.

"To Be a Problem is an essential guide to how race and gender intersect with disabilities." — Booklist

Attend in person or join the livestream on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at the Ed Roberts Campus or online.

Registration is available through the link in our bio.
