Film Challenge judge, @markpovinelli , is starring in the one-man show “The Return of Benjamin Lay” in London and it’s getting rave reviews! This show is a fascinating story based on the life of Benjamin Lay, a Little Person who is best known for his anti-slavery activism and dramatic protests. The show runs at the Finborough Theatre @finborough till July 8th so get your tickets while you can!

Ableism inverts the simple fact that disability is a normal and ubiquitous feature of the human experience.

For @Open_Notebook, I dove deep into all the beauty and truth that journalists can bring to light by eradicating ableist language from our work.

My friend @SFdirewolf, who you met on the #UnitedShades disability episode, had some awful health crises last year which led to significant expenses because America’s healthcare system is also awful. Alice is a firebrand, truthteller, & community leader. https://t.co/11UfiSof3f

[USICD @USICD]

A great pt made from rep. from Commonwealth Disabled People's Forum - States that have ratified should provide funding for OPDs to attend #COSP. "We need to include more OPDs.. it's important that we come together -- rich, poor and middle-income countries." #COSP23 #CRPD
