#NoBodyIsDisposable: Visual politics and performance in collective activist movements

ABSTRACT The #NoBodyIsDisposible hashtag has become a sign of coalitional politics built through fat and disability activism since 2019. #NoBodyIsDisposible and other hashtags have been used for both street-based and virtual activism to underline the ways in which multiple forms of oppression affect the everyday lives of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, and additional People of Color, immigrants, disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent people, and fat people in the United States. This article suggests that the visual and performance-based work of activists using the #NobodyIsDisposible hashtag makes inroads in challenging oppressive tendencies of dominant culture and emphasizes the significance of visual modes of coalitional political activism.
