E' il messaggio di "RIDICULOUS EXCUSES NOT TO BE INCLUSIVE” che ancora oggi risuona forte in ogni persona con disabilità.L'esclusione spesso non è diretta ed esplicita, spesso vengono addotte scuse ridicole che nascondono una verità più cruda e un atteggiamento discriminatorio. Le persone con disabilità subiscono svantaggi sistematici in tutti gli ambiti della loro vita per un meccanismo pervasivo, insidioso e invisibile, dato “per scontato”, quello che viene definito abilismo.Stiamo arrivando con un nuovo film... Stay Tuned🧡#WDSD

Opinion: Albertans with severe disabilities face unfair income cuts and greater food insecurity When governments knowingly leave people with disabilities without enough income to meet basic needs, it’s both a moral and a policy failure.

#SelfLove #ChronicIllness #SelfWorth

People with chronic health conditions and who are #immunocompromised are the ones who are/will be hit hardest by the war on vaccines. Meanwhile people who acquire #disabilities from things like polio deserve rights and services... But an austere, eugenicist society surely won't guarantee them.

MAHA is a public health catastrophe, and a catastrophe for people with #disabilities.

The anti-vaccine movement is filled with eugenicist ideology and rhetoric. And the unnecessary increase in rates of disability will strain health and social service systems that people with disabilities rely on.
