It is with deep sadness we share news of the passing of Etienne d’Aboville, a pioneering figure in Scotland’s Independent Living Movement and GCIL’s first CEO. Under his leadership, GCIL grew from a small grassroots initiative into Scotland’s largest Centre for Inclusive Living.

[Glasgow Centre for Inclusive Living @GCIL_DPO]

His influence reached far beyond GCIL — from helping to establish organisations such as Glasgow Disability Alliance, to championing the reopening of the Independent Living Fund in Scotland. Etienne’s voice was one of clarity, conviction, and compassion.

🗣️"These cuts won't save any money. The costs don't go if you cut benefits they get pushed around the system."

Our campaigner Mikey on @BBCPoliticsLDN making clear that the cuts will achieve nothing but pain for Disabled people.

MPs must vote against them tomorrow.

Lyn Pornaro, CEO of @DEScotTweets now speaking compellingly about her own lifelong fight as a disabled person against discrimination and being ignored. Disabled people are still having to fight for their #HumanRights.

[lan Byrne MP @IanByrneMP]

These proposals must be scrapped and the Government must listen to the millions of people impacted, including more than 4000 in my Liverpool West Derby constituency.

[Disability Rights UK @DisRightsUK]

🚨NEWS🚨

Meet the rebel Labour MPs voting against benefit cuts:
🗣️'I don't want to be part of it'

🗣️'I’m ashamed at these proposals'

🗣️"I’m not prepared to back those changes if it means making three million people poorer than they are today.”
