People living with dementia still have the right to vote because their voices and experiences are valuable to our society.

Ensuring their participation upholds democratic principles and respects their dignity and autonomy. #VoteWithDignity #InclusionMatters #DementiaRights

Thanks to @libby_brooks and @guardian for this thoughtful piece on Scotland's #HateCrime legislation. As @adamstachura says in the article: “Let’s not forget the majority of this is about addressing significant acts of hate because of who you are."
