Hamesh DAAC is the passion project come to life of EC Caucci. EC (they/he) is a Disabled, q***r, and neurodivergent educator, organizer, and advocate. They have significant personal, real world experiences living as Disabled and the professional acumen and experience to navigate systems that are largely unavailable to most marginalized people.

​Through being active both professionally and personally in educational, disability, and activist communities, EC has an extensive network of colleagues and supports to allow them to collect information and remain informed. Their philosophy of support is that it takes a community to crack the code of how to access systems in America, and that professional and lived experience can be combined to do just that.

In Community,
EC

Hey y’all! We have officially started the creation of a new and improved website! You can still head to www.hameshdaac.com to sign up for our mailing list (featuring an announcement when the new site drops plus all sorts of information, offers, maybe even a cat meme because late stage capitalism is exhausting…), or reach out to EC at [email protected]

The number one rule in life: you should not have to be around people that are harmful to you as a BASIC right…but it isn’t easy to speak out against abusive behaviors of those in power when systems are built to silence us. Your suffering at the hands of oppressive systems- yt suprema€¥, eugen1cs, transphobia, etc. is real and valid.

Ever think about how workers are mobilizing and sharing information in this mass disabling pandemic? Anyone interested in a remote workshop to talk about remote work as a reasonable ADA accommodation and your rights under the law? For many years, EC has gained knowledge of ADA case law and how reasonable accommodations are SUPPOSED to be handled according to the law. EC is not a lawyer, but a lived experience advocate and community educator, bringing you the information so you can equitably survive.
