On November 14, 2025, the world lost one of its most powerful voices for disability justice. Alice Wong, writer, activist, and founder of the Disability Visibility Project, passed away at the age of 51 after battling an infection.
\nAlice\u2019s legacy is defined by her fierce commitment to centering the stories and agency of disabled people. Her activism was deeply intersectional: she fought not only for access, but for autonomy, community, and dignity for disabled people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and others, whom ableist systems ignored and failed.
\nFor LAEHR, Alice\u2019s lifelong advocacy serves as an enduring reminder that environmental and disability politics are deeply interconnected. We recommend everyone to explore her rich legacy, including the revealing Disability Visibility Project, Alice\u2019s 2022 memoir, Year of the Tiger: An Activist\u2019s Life, and her 2019 critical comment on forms of ableist environmentalism, The Rise and Fall of the Plastic Straw: Sucking in Crip Defiance.
\nLet us maintain the vitality of Alice\u2019s voice!<\/p>\n
