Campaign for Disability Justice

Our staff delivered an open letter signed by supporters, major charities & orgs to @10DowningStreet yesterday, opposing proposed cuts Despite the last-minute "concessions," our work isn't done Read more: buff.ly/JDe50Kc #OpportunitySecurityRespect #BenefitCuts

Disabled people just want to boldly go where everyone is going (thank to @MikScarlet for that one!) . The biggest barrier to accessibility is places just not considering it. @York_Minster is showing exactly what can be done with a bit of thought!

Respect and kindness are things we all need, but Disabled people with visible differences are often mistreated. We can change that, and build a more inclusive world for everyone - here's are great steps towards itfrom our friends at @FaceEquality

Relationships with loved ones, friends and neighbours matter to most of us, but being Disabled can sometimes feel lonely. Joining our Disabled community is a way for us to connect. campaignfordisabilityjustice.org.uk/a_disabled_com…

When our community comes together we roar! Great news for every Disabled person regaining the freedom to use their car for appointments, schools runs, work, and shopping, without a threat hanging over them. Thanks to everyone who spoke up and stopped this happening!

"..cuts to the support provided to disabled people have left too many of my constituents doubting our mission" @Miatsf's resignation says it all. Politicians who listen to Disabled people, and work with our community, have a better chance of improving the social security system.

@HathorsDaughter @CarolineJC5 @johnpringdns @UKLabour Politicians can try to crush Disabled people's spirit, but we're surprisingly resilient. We've got an annoying habit of popping right back up when we've been cut down. They won't get us!

@CampaignFDJ @CarolineJC5 @johnpringdns Badenoch won't need to. @UKLabour are already crushing disabled people.

"All families, working or not, need to be able to afford the basics as well as meet extra costs where a family member is disabled." "Their proposals are a recipe for poverty and hardship rather than an incentive to work." - Our campaigns CEO @CarolineJC5 to @johnpringdns

@anton_simp66 @CarolineJC5 @johnpringdns Agreed! And our politicians can choose to make different choices, that support Disabled people in need.

@CampaignFDJ @CarolineJC5 @johnpringdns

@antonyarth2395 We completely agree, it's time for us to speak out and make the system work - because it's not right now. PS Did you catch our cartoon about the robot assessors? 🤖 campaignfordisabilityjustice.org.uk/the_human_cons…

@CampaignFDJ We should be fighting against all the anxiety caused by work capability assessment ever since mine my health has not been good a loss of money plus a robot doing the tick boxes assessment.

What do you think about the state of social security? We think changes being touted by a think tank this week would push more Disabled people into poverty, and we’re not willing to let that happen. Find out more: buff.ly/fZZIPDz #OpportunitySecurityRespect

Hundreds of disabled people have expressed anger and alarm over multiple aspects of the “punitive, discriminatory” changes that are being introduced to the #Motability scheme. #DriveSmart disabilitynewsservice.com/waves-of-anger…

“Humiliating and degrading”. One of many gut-wrenching human stories behind the work capability assessment. Share this post and read our blogpost: buff.ly/c20U3pF #OpportunitySecurityRespect

Did you know that Disabled people can still request a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan, even though the Govt regulations don't cover it? A fire can happen any time. Have you got a plan on how to keep safe ?

“I’m living far below the poverty line.” This is the cost of the flawed #WorkCapabilityAssessment process. Share this post and join our campaign: buff.ly/eqqAmM9 #OpportunitySecurityRespect

The work capability assessment is the key to a vital safety net for Disabled people, and it’s deeply flawed. Share this post and read our blog post buff.ly/c20U3pF #OpportunitySecurityRespect
