We are so saddened to hear of the passing of Alice Wong, 2024 MacArthur Fellow, Founder of the Disability Visibility Project, editor of 'Disability Visibility' and 'Disability Intimacy,' and author of 'Year of the Tiger.' Alice was a true luminary and a revered activist and community member. She will be dearly missed, and we are thankful for the wisdom and wit she shared with us.

"We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I’m honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future." -Alice Wong (1974-2025)
