I could do that! One year, pre pandemic, we had an LGBTQ day in the sukkah, welcoming in Jewish LGBTQ elders and ancestors, then colored pages from the SinsInvalid coloring book #ParshaChat

Sad to hear of the passing of #DisabilityJustice activist and visionary Patty Berne.

#SinsInvalid reminds us: “As we grieve, please care for each other in the ways Patty taught us:

Check in on a friend.
Cook a meal.
Support someone at the edge.
Practice Disability Justice in real time.”
A bright illustration of Patty Berne,a Japanese-Haitian person with light brown skin, who smiles playfully with love and light shining from their brown eyes. They wear an off the shoulder opalescent blue dress and an amethyst pendant. Their brown hair is pulled back into their signature two buns. Behind Patty is a pink background with radiant red and yellow flowers. At the top of the image, iridescent capital letters spell out “PATTY LIVES THROUGH US.” On the bottom right corner is Sins Invalid’s logo, a black rectangular box with white letters that read “Sins Invalid.”

White text on a black background. Text lists the principles of Disability Justice, by SinsInvalid: "10 Principles of Disability Justice INTERSECTIONALITY “We do not live single issue lives” –Audre Lorde. Ableism, coupled with white supremacy, supported by capitalism, underscored by heteropatriarchy, has rendered the vast majority of the world “invalid.” LEADERSHIP OF THOSE MOST IMPACTED “We are led by those who most know these systems.” –Aurora Levins Morales ANTI-CAPITALIST POLITIC In an economy that sees land and humans as components of profit, we are anti-capitalist by the nature of having non-conforming body/minds. COMMITMENT TO CROSS-MOVEMENT ORGANIZING Shifting how social justice movements understand disability and contextualize ableism, disability justice lends itself to politics of alliance. RECOGNIZING WHOLENESS People have inherent worth outside of commodity relations and capitalist notions of productivity. Each person is full of history and life experience. SUSTAINABILITY We pace ourselves, individually and collectively, to be sustained long term. Our embodied experiences guide us toward ongoing justice and liberation. COMMITMENT TO CROSS-DISABILITY SOLIDARITY We honor the insights and participation of all of our community members, knowing that isolation undermines collective liberation. INTERDEPENDENCE We meet each others’ needs as we build toward liberation, knowing that state solutions inevitably extend into further control over lives. COLLECTIVE ACCESS As brown, black and queer-bodied disabled people we bring flexibility and creative nuance that go beyond able-bodied/minded normativity, to be in community with each other. COLLECTIVE LIBERATION No body or mind can be left behind – only moving together can we accomplish the revolution we require."

With deep sorrow, we share that Sins Invalid’s Co-Founder & Director, Patty Berne, joined the ancestors on May 29, 2025.

Patty’s brilliance, love, and vision shaped how we move, care, resist, and imagine. We honor her by continuing the work she led.

Black text on white background. Transcribed text: I used to have expectations for humans that I don’t anymore. It’s sobering to experience a pandemic and see how difficult change is for people. It’s sobering to see how much pain the ocean can be in and how few fucks humans can give. It’s painfully sobering. I’ve had to do some serious expectation management of our species. You can only get heartbroken so many times before you recognize the nature of the beast. Shayda Kafai Crip Kinship: The Disability Justice and Art Activism of Sins Invalid

Disability Justice Principle of interdependence:
As we work towards liberation, we fulfill each other's needs, recognizing that state-driven solutions ultimately result in increased control over our lives.

SinsInvalid is more than a performance project—it’s a revolution. 🎭

Centering disabled artists of color, especially queer and trans folks, they reclaim beauty, power, and pleasure through art rooted in disability justice.

A full-body silhouette of a person in a wheelchair is set against a vivid red background. Suspended mid-air, the individual holds onto a horizontal bar attached to ropes that stretch upward beyond the frame. Their arms are outstretched, and their posture conveys motion. The wheelchair is clearly visible, integrated seamlessly into the dynamic pose. The stark contrast between the deep red backdrop and the dark silhouette adds to the image’s theatrical and powerful presence. A Latina woman with long dark hair sits in a wheelchair on a bright red rug against a black background. Her head is lifted to her left, her shoulder raised so it almost touches her lips. She wears a brown top with silver sequins down the front, black bra straps showing, and brown leather boots with buckles on them, her left leg crossed over her right knee. One hand is between her legs, the other hand extended down with fingers spread by her knee. A Black person with short dreads wearing a white one-piece unitard leans to the left with legs spread, their back to the camera. They hold a white scarf outstretched in their left hand. Watery blue and white images are projected onto the scarf and their body. A fat white Jewish femme wears a tight green bejeweled bodice and a turquoise mermaid tail, with ribbons cascading from their hair and wrists, in front of a watery blue background.

For some reason, bsky deleted the rest of the text meant to accompany that post, but these are the 10 Principles of Disability Justice, by SinsInvalid.

These are also the principles to which the Rare Disease Advisory Council of Oregon must adhere.
