You earn Criptos
Participating earns our own digital currency. Completing this challenge earns your first Criptos.
The Cripto is the VDPM's own digital currency, named by reclaiming a word once used against us, just as the movement reclaimed crip theory and crip pride. Think of it like air miles, except you earn them by contributing to your own movement. Founding members receive their tokens when the blockchain infrastructure launches.
"Creating our own organisations is not something to take our minds off our 'tragedies' but a matter of life and death."
The Independent Living Challenge exposes the barriers, attitudes, cultural assumptions and social structures that prevent Disabled People from achieving independent living. The tool will suggest the individual steps you can take and the collective action required to make lasting change possible, improving the lives of Disabled People now and in the future.
For each pillar, rate how far the right conditions are in place in your life. Expand "think about" for prompts. If a pillar does not apply, mark it not applicable.
