What I love most about this video is that it shows #people with #disabilities living their best lives. When building #accessible products or features, it's not enough to make it possible, but make it effortless for the user to use them. youtu.be/c2UF26YpPFg

I'm working on a story about airlines' restrictions on mobility devices with Lithium ion batteries. If you've faced difficulty traveling by air with one of these devices in the past year, I'd love to talk with you — please reach out via DM. #WheelchairTravel #AccessibleTravel

So grateful that Maayan Ziv was able to join us amongst her busy schedule advocating for accessibility in travel around the world, and be blatantly honest about her experiences and where the industry is lagging.

If you haven't checked this out already, PLEASE DO! 🙏

ICYMI 🚩 Why can’t wheelchairs roll onto airplanes already??

We talked to Maayan Ziv and Christopher Wood MBE about the system that is resulting in thousands of dollars of damage to wheelchairs and leaving countless people with their independence.

It was an honour to attend the #AcceleratingAccessibilityCoalition launch event today and to hear the rich panel discussion between Maayan Ziv, Tim Rose of CIBC, Luke Anderson of StopGap Foundation and Lorene Casiez of Human Space.

Also, huge thanks of solidarity from Maayan Ziv for boosting this - I'm only getting updates on my luggage on Twitter DMs from AirCanada because of the boost - they will not call or email with updates. This visibility does matter - disabled people take care of each other.

Another day another disabled person suffering due to airline negligence.

Time spent dealing with wheelchair damage is uncompensated, but members of our community have no choice but to accept that responsibility.

It’s exhausting, but there is no end in sight — and there won’t be until wheelchairs are secured in the aircraft cabin.

Why can’t wheelchairs roll onto airplanes already??

TOMORROW, we're talking to Maayan Ziv and Christopher Wood MBE about the system that is resulting in thousands of dollars of damage to wheelchairs and countless people with their independence.
