Here is why we need People’s Parliaments @niassembly @niexecutive @AssemblyCC #DisabledPeoplesParliament2025 #UNCRPD #Article29TheRightToParticipateInPoliticalAndPublicLife #DeliberativeDemocracy #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs 💜✊

"It was just great to come together as a collective voice" 📣 - participants in the Disabled People's Parliament explain how it helps them have their say on important issues.

[Marie-Louise Connolly @mlchealth]

Why we need the independent social care sector - listen back to Stephanie McAleese from Connected Health on @BBCgmu who describes her working day to Sarah. She says the system wld collapse without her and others. And asks why they aren’t receiving a pay uplift?. It’s powerful.
