DO-IT Scholars
In 2020 Rooted in Rights, in collaboration with University of Washington’s Do-It program, took our annual video advocacy workshop virtual! Participants in the program created their own advocacy videos by scripting, filming, and editing from home. Check out their videos below!

All students deserve to access campus independently, without relying on the kindness of others. Colleges, make your campus accessible!
DO-IT 2020 – Risa
If someone is falling asleep in class, it might not be because they were up all night. They might have a disorder like narcolepsy. Risa shares how support and accommodations help her be on a schedule that works for her.
DO-IT 2020 – Samuel
People with disabilities should be able to go everywhere non-disabled people can go. Accessibility is important, in every country!

Roll for initiative! Dungeon Master Alexis shares how playing Dungeons and Dragons helped improve her social skills, and how it’s accessible to people of all abilities and disabilities.
DO-IT 2020 – Merritt
Awareness and acceptance of people with autism has increased in the last few years, and hopefully that will continue. Merrit is here to share what he wants you to know about his experience with autism.
DO-IT 2020 – Grant
Just because someone doesn’t talk, that doesn’t mean they have nothing to say. It’s important to provide non-speaking students with accommodations and assistive technology so they can communicate with the world.
