In 2024, when the Liverpool City Council run Eurovision Events hopefully there can be a greater look into Disabled spaces. It’s an important issue in the City. It would be well received by many across our brilliant city! Harry Doyle 🌹🏳️‍🌈 is this something that could potentially be looked at?

There’s going to be a general election this year. You might have heard about it... 🗳️

I am delighted to announce this brand new campaign to make sure that people with disabilities have their voices heard across the world. We want to make sure that people get spoken to directly when out and about.

Being autistic means thinking outside the box & uniquely processing the world. Our neurodiverse brains may react differently to everyday situations, but that's what makes us special. From sensory overload to social cues, we see the world in a whole new light. #neurodiversity

🗣️ The panel showed courage and integrity, asking hard-hitting and fascinating questions, and the interview highlighted the importance of giving everyone time and space to find their voice.

[2/2 🧵]

Are we disabled by society's stigma and lack of inclusivity, or by our environment's physical barriers? Let's have an open and honest conversation about disability and how we can create a more accessible world for all. #DisabilityTalk #Inclusion
