In an effort to spark dialogue and discussion to strengthen inclusive, intersectional, and sustainable movements for gender and disability justice, Urgent Action Fund for Feminist Activism (UAF-FA) and Women Enabled International (WEI) collaborated on an interactive report titled Activists From Strength: What You Need to Know to be a Disability and Gender-Inclusive Funder. The report identifies the key challenges disability rights activists experience in their work as well as recommendations for funders who are interested in supporting work at the intersection of gender and disability.

This book shares the experiences of more than 100 activists from around the world regarding the sustainability of their activism. Topics include their fears, hopes, exhaustion, exaltation, grief, loss, pain, pleasure, humor, spirituality, funding crunches, backbiting and burnout, self-worth, desire, selfishness, and selflessness. The book played a critical role in the development of Urgent Action Fund’s Sustaining Activism concept and helped to draw attention to this critical issue in funding and activist circles alike.
