ASAN wants to change the conversation that we, as a society, have about gun violence and people with mental health disabilities. Misinformation and stereotypes hurt some of the most marginalized people in our society. We can do better. autisticadvocacy.org/policy/briefs/…

It’s #ChangingPlacesAwarenessDay! Changing Places Toilets are an essential part of #incLOOsion. This #CPAD2024, we’re re-sharing our blog on why loos are important and how you can support Changing Places UK oilycart.org.uk/resources/why-…

Yesterday I received one of the highest and most ancient honors in London, the Freedom of the City. But the celebration soured into an experience of indignity when upon arriving, I found that there was no ramp for me to access the stage. 🧵

Hello #Access people! Does anyone know of any grants for disabled people who need a family/cargo e-bike to assist in getting a child to school? The catchment area system has not taken into account the journey for a disabled family. All advice welcome!

Friendly reminder that when the Olympics end, the Paralympic Games begin and athletes continue to deserve your support and attention 🤍

just in general I strongly feel that if you're claiming an identity or a struggle, you have a responsibility to, within your ability, be curious about and seek out information about what movement work is already happening and what histories preceded you

There's still time to register for the Inclusion London and TfL meeting on taxi and private hire vehicle accessibility and reliability in London next week x.com/InclusionLondo…

This is a really key role for us and we struggled to find the 'title' - do have a read through and see what you think - please share far and wide too. Must be someone who is in commutable distance from Wakefield. Experience Wakefield Creative Wakefield Wakefield Council

As someone who commutes and has this happen to regularly, it’s time that companies were fined every time they don’t provide our basic access needs. I honestly don’t see any other way. Tanni Grey-Thompson

Thinking about the fact that I have tickets to a dance club next weekend that should be sensory friendly/accessible. And how it’s quite likely that somehow Steve Silberman was part of creating the cultural conditions that makes that possible… (I might be a little weepy)

A new #Access Manager role has been created Royal Albert Hall. A fantastic opportunity to develop accessible practice in a venue dating back to 1871! jobs.royalalberthall.com/vacancies/758/…

As school begins in England, periodic reminder that schools which choose to reward 100% attendance without equally rewarding disabled children who cannot achieve this for disability related reasons may well be breaching the Equality Act and the Human Rights Act

#DisabilityStudies #DisabilityTwitter Does anyone have any favorite readings from a dis studies perspective about Outsider (Art Brut)/Intuitive/Self-Taught artist movements? I'm especially looking for how intellectual disability appears in these mvmts and their curation. Thx!

Everyone should be free to live their life how they want but that’s not the reality for many disabled folk. I had to convince my social worker I needed to wash my hair once a wk. We have to fight to go to the loo, stay in our homes/leave our homes. We need #AssistanceToLive first

I am so sorry, first and foremost for the people of Britain. But selfishly also for those of us in Canada hoping you saw us and said 'hell no.' To bring in assisted suicide *after* watching what's happening here...leaves no doubt about how little value is placed on our lives.
