Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha reads and talks about her latest book Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice at the Seward Park location of Third Place Books in Seattle on January 17.

"Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice is a collection profoundly necessary at this moment … the essays share a fundamental hypothesis: to achieve social justice, ableism must be destroyed. Personal narratives and accounts of organizing are voiced from Black and brown and queer disabled people, radically reimagining the ways our society is structured, uplifting visions and models for care webs that create collective access." --Broadly (Best Books of the Year)
