Summary
In this collection of essays, Lambda Literary Award-winning writer and longtime activist and performance artist Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha explores the politics and realities of disability justice, a movement that centers the lives and leadership of sick and disabled queer, trans, Black, and brown people, with knowledge and gifts for all.
Care Work is a mapping of access as radical love, a celebration of the work that sick and disabled queer/people of color are doing to find each other and to build power and community, and a tool kit for everyone who wants to build radically resilient, sustainable communities of liberation where no one is left behind. Powerful and passionate, Care Work is a crucial and necessary call to arms.

I find myself in this book
I find myself in this book, just as I find all my fears and hopes and grief. I didn't expect to feel so much crip connection and solidarity, but am so glad I did. It is poetic, beautiful, hard and truthful, and an honest and raw insight into our lives.

Essential Read
Important perspective around the meaning of disability justice, irrelevance of merely focusing on cures, and the impact of structural oppression. Told through an intersectional lens and illustrated with personal stories and insights.

Required read
Important book that will open your eyes to many things you haven't thought about, especially if you're an able-bodied person.
I've chosen to read it, because I want to learn more and hear about different experiences. And in the context of war in my country Ukraine and many warriors ending up disabled and disfigured, I want to read about more ways to help to make living more accessible to them.
I think this book should be a required read, because it focuses on femme and LGBT+ and BIPOC
