Created with support from collaborator LaVant Consulting, the social media campaign used memes and graphics to publicly highlight the necessity for alternatives to ableist language within media and reporting about disability. The ableist language campaign was also used to brief leaders at agencies, studios, and other entertainment workplaces, where the campaign earned praise from the industry’s DEAI leaders.

As part of its ongoing expansion into new mediums, this branch of Elevate Collective — supported by Spotify — offered eight narrative fiction and non-fiction podcasters professional development grants worth $12,500 to support marketing, equipment, IP licensing, accommodations, and more tied to their audio projects.
