The mission of Detroit Disability Power’s book club, 'You Can’t Put Us Down!', is to create a space for DDP members to connect over literature and shared interests in the realms of advocacy, networking, and disability pride. With support from the Michigan Braille and Talking Book Library (MBTBL), this book club will commit to and model a high level of accessibility for participants with any and all disabilities.
