I can't continue using twitter/X any longer with @elonmusk in charge. He opposes everything i work for: an open, inclusive and solidarity-based society. I am therefore leaving twitter/X.

Thank you @EASPD_Brussels for the invitation and for the opportunity to moderate a really interesting panel about a topic close to my heart. #Employment4All is a key ingredient to achieve independent living, and we are all needed for this.

Today and yesterday @kamiloulis attended the EASPD conference in Athens and moderated a panel on how businesses can become more inclusive and what support would be needed for that. #EASPD #InclusionMatters

The last panel of our conference today talks about intersectionality, using the correct terminology and how this makes a difference when we create jobs for people with disabilities in the open labour market.

Very happy to hear @katarinaik highlight key importance of #InclusiveEducation at @HU24EU Conference as key issue for open labour market employment for disabled people. At @EASPD_Brussels, we see regression on this topic around Europe. Would be important for @roxana_minzatu !
