 ved Experience is just as Valuable as a Medical Degree.” The talk will f
 eature Mary Fashik (she/her)\, a Lebanese born\, queer disability rights a
 ctivist\, author\, public speaker\, and workshop facilitator.\n\nIn 2019\,
  Mary founded Upgrade Accessibility\, a movement designed to challenge tod
 ay’s accessibility standards. Since its inception\, the movement has gro
 wn and broadened its lens to include disability rights\, intersectionality
 \, disability justice\, and equity. Through a variety of workshops\, Mary 
 helps companies understand how deeply rooted ableism is in their organizat
 ional structure and how to implement important changes. She strives daily 
 to shed light on issues affecting those in the disabled/chronically ill co
 mmunity\, particularly those that affect multi-marginalized members of the
  community. Mary was inducted into the Susan M. Daniels Disability Mentori
 ng Hall of Fame and named Accessibility Advisor of the Year for Corporate 
 Live Wire's 2022-2023 Global Awards.\n\nYou can register for the talk here

 bility. This lecture is free to attend but donations to Upgrade Accessibil
 ity are strongly encouraged.\n\nThis event was planned by a diverse group 
 of UCSF staff who organized in response to the ongoing racial injustices. 
 The goal of the UCSF Healthcare Advocates for Social Justice monthly speak
 er series is to promote critical thinking and action around intersectional
  structures of power\, privilege\, and racial oppression in clinical care\
 , education\, and beyond. We will continue to highlight the efforts of com
 munity antiracism activists.\n\n-UCSF Healthcare Advocates for Social Just
