Affect is focused on disability justice, disability culture, and arts advocacy. We have two programs: Disabled And Here, an interview and stock image series celebrating disabled BIPOC; and the Community Care Awards, small award grants given to multiply marginalized BIPOC through community nominations.
Affect’s work has been widely adopted and used by various orgs and publications, including ADA.gov, Psychology Today, Disability Rights Oregon, and BBC News. We are based in Portland, Oregon.
