Who/What is TEP looking for?
We need supporters, not saviors!
Equity only happens when Disabled, 2TIGE community members who are also BIPOC are centered in our work.
It’s going to take dedication and hard work to get there, but that work shouldn’t fall solely on those who are Disabled, 2TIGE and BIPOC.
Meaning whether you’re part of the 2TIGE community or an ally, we’re calling on you, as one of our accomplices to help us do grow our support for the community in 2025 and beyond.
