Today, we’re listening to the brilliant Kali Welch, a 34-year-old rural, working class, disabled veteran of the U.S. Army. Kali is an overwhelmingly proud auntie, and aspiring photographer living in small town Montana. Today, she’ll share her personal experience at the intersection of disability justice, rural justice, economic justice, and climate justice. Climate change is personal to Kali because she saw firsthand how disability creates vulnerabilities to climate disasters like wildfires and how cycles of poverty make climate change increasingly challenging. Kali advocates for herself and others within the disability community and enjoys the beautiful mountains of Montana whenever her body allows.
