Activists at AccessFest Share How to Improve Disability Representation

During the inaugural AccessFest in Toronto in June 2025, the GADIM team asked attendees: how can we improve disability representation? Attendees drew upon their rich experiences across disability advocacy, media, and performing arts to educate others on disability representation, accessibility, inclusion, and the authentic experiences of people with disabilities.
