About On the Moov

Our Mission: Increasing Accessibility Through the Power of Community

Disability exists on a spectrum, and disabled people have diverse needs and experiences. At On the Moov, we work within a disability justice framework rooted in interdependence, access, and community power. When institutional systems are nonexistent or fail to meet the needs of disabled students, we come together to create the support we deserve—on our terms.

​

We organize a peer-based support system at The University of Texas at Austin that reflects the lived realities of disabled students. Through predetermined shifts, students provide support to disabled peers by walking/rolling together across campus, sharing meals, or helping with set up in their living spaces—reclaiming access through community care. These interactions are grounded in solidarity. Over time, they often evolve into meaningful friendships and collective networks of support.

Our work is a response to systemic inaccessibility and a vision for what’s possible when disabled people and allies organize together. We’re not waiting for institutions to catch up—we’re building the future we need now.
