Disabled Power

Disabled Power by Angela Frederick explores how the 2021 Texas winter storm exposed the vulnerabilities faced by people with disabilities when essential infrastructure fails, emphasizing that these challenges are shaped by policies rather than individual conditions. The audiobook highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of Texans with disabilities who navigated the crisis, challenging stereotypes of passivity. It advocates for reimagining disaster response to better include and support disabled communities, with implications that extend beyond Texas as climate-related extreme weather events increase.
