Alice Wong helped me accept my disabilities.
She taught me there’s no social justice without disability justice.
She encouraged me to start The Disabled Ginger and was a friend & mentor.
She won’t be forgotten.

Thank You Alice Wong
Alice Wong has passed away and the disability community has lost a leader. I lost a mentor and a friend. The Disabled Ginger wouldn't exist without Alice and everything she taught me.Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)
Disability activist Alice Wong has died.
"Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, and full of love."
She founded Crips for eSims for Gaza, which raised millions for phone connectivity for Palestinians in Gaza.
My heart is so heavy … I lost a friend and mentor yesterday and the disability community lost a leader.
The incomparable Alice Wong passed away.
She inspired me to find my voice. She encouraged me to take up space and embrace my disabled body.
To be visible in a world that seeks to make us invisible.
To be unapologetic about the ways I am different and the things I need to move through this world.
To be a voice for those who don’t have one and to always fight against ableism and eugenics.
I can’t believe she’s gone.
The Disabled Ginger wouldn’t exist without her, and I hope that I can honour her memory through my writing.
Hug your loved ones close.
Remember none of us are guaranteed a tomorrow and may we all be as visible, proud and fierce as Alice was.
