Frequently Asked Questions

DisabiliT4T is not an organization that serves the disabled, queer community; rather, we are the disabled, queer community. We aim to build a non-hierarchical, intentional community led by the collective.

That community will be made up of two main components:

• Online Community

  • DT4T’S online community is made up of a members-only website and app. We aim to create the antithesis of social media as we know it.

• DIY Events, Groups, & Gatherings

  • With no leadership handing down decisions about programming, we are all empowered to create our own opportunities and resources.

  • Anyone can host an Event, Group, or Gathering whenever we want.

Since we don't have leaders, decisions are made by the people most affected by the outcome. 

We believe that, contrary to a traditional leadership model, the decision-makers and the do-ers don’t need to be the same people. After decisions are made by those most affected by the outcome, they are set in motion by those with the resources to perform the necessary labor. We call them Stewards.

DisabiliT4T is based in NYC and was founded with the intention of bringing people together in the NYC area. But our virtual events have drawn attendees from across North America and beyond. 

This, along with worsening chronic illness, led Anzi, DT4T's Founding Steward, to shift focus to virtual gathering spaces and building the DT4T app.

We also still host in-person events, anywhere where there's a large enough population of vetted Members.

No, DisabiliT4T is not a mutual aid fund and we do not distribute material resources.

That said, we believe that mutual aid is a critical component of sustainable networks of care. Down the road, we hope to build infrastructure to help connect members of the DisabiliT4T community who might be able to support each other with money or labor.

DisabiliT4T is funded by donations from the DT4T community.

In the future, once we're out of our soft-launch phase and we begin to establish ourselves as a membership-based intentional community, our pricing model will likely change. If you'd like to have a say on what that will be, please give us feedback on our Community Blueprints!

No matter what, no one will ever be turned away from our community spaces for lack of funds.
