What happens when the fight for justice isn’t accessible to everyone — even the people doing the organizing? And how often do we overlook disabilities we can’t see, but that profoundly shape who gets to show up?

Join Pushing Limits this Friday as we talk with social justice organizer Andrea Jones Klein. For more than five years, Andrea has worked at the intersections of climate justice, political liberation, and health equity — all while living with chemical intolerance.

In this conversation, Andrea discusses the ableism she encounters in organizing spaces, explains what chemical intolerance is, and shares simple, practical steps people can take to make public spaces more accessible for those with her disability.
