In honour of Alice Wong, Sisters of Frida would like to gather in community to celebrate her life.

Sisters of Frida will be hosting a community gathering to watch the livestream of Alice Wong’s celebration of life memorial from the United States. We invite you to come together to celebrate her life, her work, and the wisdom she shared with the world. Alice Wong remains a powerful voice for Disability Justice; a comrade in struggle who through her writing, activism, and leadership fought for a world in which all beings are free. Alice cherished friendship, community and storytelling and in the days after her passing, a message she had prepared was shared widely. In her own words:
“I’m honoured to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

Where: Calthorpe Community Garden, London, England

When: Wednesday, March 25th from 6 pm to 8:30 pm
