Pax Ahimsa Gethen<p>At tonight's closing plenary for the <a href="https://me.dm/tags/CreatingChangeConference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CreatingChangeConference</span></a>, <a href="https://me.dm/tags/AngelicaRoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AngelicaRoss</span></a> led a takeover of the stage by the just-created CC23 <a href="https://me.dm/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trans</span></a> Action Collective, *demanding* <a href="https://me.dm/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> and <a href="https://me.dm/tags/accountability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accountability</span></a>.

Pax Ahimsa Gethen<p>There are really good speakers and topics at the <a href="https://me.dm/tags/CreatingChangeConference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CreatingChangeConference</span></a> but the crowded, noisy space is really not good for me. Especially the session I went to on <a href="https://me.dm/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableism</span></a> and <a href="https://me.dm/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> which was crammed into a very inaccessible room. The presenters (who were great) acknowledged and were apologetic about this, but I almost left. Especially when a late announcement came through that Alok was doing a meet and greet at the same time. Sigh.</p>
Pax Ahimsa Gethen<p>The <a href="https://me.dm/tags/CreatingChangeConference" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CreatingChangeConference</span></a> has barely begun and I'm already peopled-out. I have Sensory Processing Disorder and get overwhelmed pretty quickly nowadays. </p><p>Fortunately, they provided an overflow room for the opening plenary, so I could watch it with lots of space and less noise. They also have a scent-free quiet room attendees can use during the day.</p><p>The plenary is also available on YouTube:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsZlK-Q-6F4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=TsZlK-Q-6F</span><span class="invisible">4</span></a></p>
