Ase Community 5th Annual Townhall
Still Here, Still Leading
A Hybrid Town Hall & AGM
Hosted by Ase Community Foundation for Black Canadians with Disabilities
We're not going anywhere.
They're rolling back DEI initiatives. Dismantling programs we fought for. Acting like we were never here.
But here's what they don't understand: Black disabled folks have always been leading. And we're not about to stop now.
Join us for "Still Here, Still Leading" – a Town Hall and AGM where we can actually talk to each other, share what's working, and figure out how we keep going.

What You'll Get Out of It
Community that sees you – Not the performative kind. The real kind. People who understand what it's like right now and aren't going anywhere.
Actual strategies – Not theory. Real ways people are keeping their advocacy going, protecting their energy, and navigating spaces that don't want us there.
Your people – Connections with other Black disabled leaders you can actually call on later. Build your crew.
