People with learning difficulties aren't being given a voice about laws which affect them. This needs to change. We're calling for Parliament to follow the Equality Act and start including people with learning difficulties. 🔗 Sign the petition: buff.ly/esyOGw3

Disabled people are being let down by our benefits system. Life costs more if you're disabled. Disability benefits are a lifeline meant to help address this. The government must get its administration right. Because disabled people are paying the price. bigissue.com/news/social-jus…

The Department for Work and Pensions is refusing to explain which disabled people it expects to lose out from nearly £2 billion in new cuts to disability benefits, six weeks after the “savings” were quietly revealed in budget documents. #DWP #PIP #WCA disabilitynewsservice.com/dw…

Delays and cuts to Access to Work support are pushing Disabled people out of their jobs. We need to speak out and tell MPs that cuts aren't the way to help people into work. Let's keep Disabled people in the picture. Contact your MP: buff.ly/x2PsH04

Thank you for being part of our community this year. Everything Transport for All does is shaped by you. We’re closed from 24 December - 1 January, so the team can have a break. Let's come back rested and ready to keep pushing for accessible transport for every disabled person.

This International Day of Disabled People, we're reminded that disability justice is inseparable from other forms of discrimination. The barriers we face mirror those faced by all marginalised groups. Our struggles connect us. Our solidarity is our strength. #IDDP

Hate crime against Disabled people is on the rise, urged on by media and politicians who promote false narratives about us. We need change, starting with an end to the scapegoating of Disabled people. #NationalHCAW #NationalHateCrimeAwarenessWeek buff.ly/gO6I8Yg
