"The National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) filed a lawsuit on behalf of 17 state domestic violence and sexual assault organizations on Monday, arguing that restrictions the Trump administration has placed on grants are illegal and conflict with requirements laid out in the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)."

Accessibility Zine Completed and Ready for Download

The Accessibility Zine my friend and I worked on is completed! I asked friends and members of the National General Strike group (they have an Accessibility affinity group) to review for errors and readability so I could revise and correct.

The Zine covers: 

• Definition of Accessibility
• Definition of Ableism
• Various models of Disability (social model, medical model, rights model)
• Some history of Cross-movement organizing (Disabled miner strikes of the 1970s, Section 504 sit-ins in the 1980s, Capital Crawl for ADA in 1990s)
• Ten Principles of Disability Justice as quoted from Sins Invalid
• Spaces theory of Access — Physical space, Transportation space, Sensory space, Digital/Information space, Time-independent space, and Community space.
• There is tips for protests and infectious disease mitigations folded into the spaces theory section.

It perhaps is more accurately called a booklet due to its length. I wanted to give this overall view of the topic and frame it in the context of history and Disability Justice principles. Hopefully it helps people learn about Accessibility, how to center it, and why we should center it. When we raise the tide for one boat, all the boats rise too. 

Here is the link to download the Zine.

"Nearly two-thirds of adults oppose President Donald Trump’s 'One Big Beautiful Bill' approved in May by the House of Representatives, according to a KFF poll released Tuesday.

And even Trump’s most ardent supporters like the legislation a lot less when they learn how it would cut federal spending on health programs, the poll shows."

Are disabilities and unpaid carers among the final frontier in the ongoing struggle for equality? This is a serious question for all voters and for anyone who is considered 'political'.

Despite the Equalities Act 2010, across the UK there are organisations like the https://disabilityunion.co.uk, https://dpac.uk.net and https://community-tu.org who are giving clear voices to people with disabilities.

#PeerTube is great #tech. The main *one* thing holding me back from using it more is the lack of support for captions.

For #people with #disabilities, this is a deal breaker.

Say what you want about #scotus. Today, the court ruled unanimously on the #disability #rights case, A.J.T. v. Osseo Area Schools.

The court has reaffirmed that #students with #disabilities are entitled to an #education free from #discrimination. Discrimination in #schools is plainly illegal, even if it is unintentional.

Additionally, a higher standard of proof is *not* required in education disability rights.

'We're getting there,' says N.S. minister as disabilities reform falls behind schedule
A progress report released Tuesday says only 189 people have left large institutions, a number that is about two-thirds of the goal the government had set for the spring.
