Disabled Hikers Virtual Winter Hangouts

Join Disabled Hikers for a virtual hang out! This event is free and open to anyone, anywhere who is disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, deaf, blind, or otherwise has lived experience of disability. We will have a few topics for discussion, and plenty of time for casual conversation and questions. Meet other people who are interested in disability justice, accessible hiking and belonging in the outdoors.

November topic: Winter coping skills and resources for surviving the current political climate

--- How do you prepare for winter? What does enjoying nature mean for you during this time? How are you coping with the current attacks on our communities and what resources do you need or have to share?

December topic: TBD

Accessibility:  The hang out is held over Zoom. You do not have to have Zoom downloaded on your computer, but it does make joining easier. We will provide closed captions and transcription via Otter. ASL interpretation and/or CART is available by request, but we hope to provide it for all events as funding allows. You are welcome to leave your camera off if needed, and all other forms of communication are welcome, including through chat, AAC, or a support person. You can join or leave the event at any time. Please let us know if you have other access needs or questions when you register.
