Invisible Radiation, Invisible Voices AC:
Sachiko Masuyama has suffered many of these PTSD symptoms as she has been forced to make life-or-death decisions for herself and her unborn baby. On 9 March, she found out she was expecting her third child. Two days later, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant – only 25km from her home – was jolted into meltdown. And since then her life has been turned upside down, first by a desperate escape from the disaster zone, then by a growing worry about the effects of the radiation on the foetus growing inside her. Each time she goes to the hospital for a checkup, she is filled with anxiety that the ultrasound might reveal a deformity, so she counts and recounts the fingers and toes. The doctors have reassured her there is no sign of abnormality, but they won't know for sure until the birth in November – and perhaps not for years later. For Masuyama, the worry has become so all-consuming that she has considered abortion and suicide. "For the first two months after the disaster, I was focused only on survival," the 29-year-old tells me in a Tokyo restaurant, "but since then I have had time to think and that has made me very depressed. I have been so worried that I stopped eating. I wanted to die." There is nobody nearby to confide in.  

PART 1 IS THE SQUO: 

Fear of radioactive contamination is pervasive in Japan. Following the Fukushima nuclear disaster, fear of nuclear poisoning lead to severe discrimination and exclusion of Fukushima victims.  O’Flaherty:  
From “the A-… their new homes.

Disabled narratives are missing from debates about nuclear power. Focusing on the disabling affects of nuclear accidents and how it fuels larger ideas regarding disability is critical to privilege disabled voices. The AC prioritizes disabled narratives and experiences in the context of nuclear power.

The officers were ... in good faith. 

Like many other Black, disabled people, Leroy Duffie was subject to police brutality because he looked “suspicious.” “Objective reasonableness” is the standard that lets police officers get away with murder. Stefan

The public still … dropped the gun.

Police violence against Black and disabled Americans is centered on the narrative of the “violent other.” This normalizes violence since it becomes reasonable for a cop to view Black Americans with disabilities as violent. Harris  Harris, Leah; “Connecting Police Violence Against People of Color and People With ‘Mental Illness;’” (December 16th, 2014); Op-Ed, Truthout; http://www.truth-out.org/op-ed/item/28024-connecting-police-violence-against-people-of-color-and-people-with-mental-illnes - JS

The new civil… is a crime.

The “objective reasonableness” facet of law is integral to qualified immunity. Qualified immunity erases police accountability, making it a prime factor in police violence against Black and disabled Americans. Stefan  Stefan, Lindsey De; “’No Man Is Above the Law and No Man Is Below It:’ How Qualified Immunity Reform Could Create Accountability and Curb Widespread Police Misconduct;” (Apparently 2017 LUL); Seton Hall University, Seton Hall Law, Law School Student Scholarship, Accessed 2016, http://scholarship.shu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1861andcontext=student_scholarship - JS

ADVOCACY: 

Conquering fears of disability is critical to solve for underlying assumptions about anti-blackness disableism. Only direct engagement with disabled voices can solve. The 1AC speech act provides black disabled narratives regarding the police violence. “Misfitting” is the process of examining a person’s relation to society and how they do not “fit” thus are disabled by society. Experiencing misfitting exposes anti-blackness and disableism within society and serves as a starting point liberatory strategizing.

The narrative of the AC provides an analysis of disability and race, constituting unique “misfit” positionality. Understanding these interactions is necessary in combatting oppression.
