ALT Flyer for the Covid Ableism Narrarice Archive on a medium blue background with cream text and blue/cream circular accents. Text reads: “Covid Ableism Narrative Archive, Swipe through to learn more about our project that will collect, archive, and share first-hand stories about ableism in the medical system during COVID.”

ALT Text reads: “The inspiration for this project began with Twitter user Sarah Madoka Currie's thread sharing the JAMA finding that the second strongest risk factor for dying from COVID is a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is linked to a 2.7x greater risk of dying from COVID. The tweet thread screenshots from Sarah, @kawaiilovesarah, follow the text.”

ALT Text reads: “Academic studies have primarily focused on biological connections between disability and COVID complications. They do not focus on how medical discrimination and ableism lead to differing quality of and access to care for disabled folks during the continuing pandemic.Instead, we are using a folkloric approach to create an archive of stories through social media and interviews, all centered around the lived pandemic experiences of disabled people.”

ALT Final slide with bright orange, mustard, and blue quarter circles in the corners. Text reads:“Do you have a pandemic story that you would like to share for our project? Want to stay in contact with updates about it? Contact us and share your link to a social media post through the following Google form at: tinyurl.com/ArchiveProjectForm Follow the lab's Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to keep up with this project and receive more updates!” The lab’s handle @RadMadLab and websites (disabilitylab.berkeley.edu/ and linktr.ee/calradmadlab) follow the text.
