Add your name to our open letter today to ask all parties to commit to transforming the lives of carers. #GeneralElection: https://t.co/8o4wrrlTsq

[Dan White : Disability Campaigner / Author / ♿️ @Danwhite1972]

Why is no media or party engaging with or discussing Disabled people or carers this election?

It seems stereotypes of who we are & how we live (& suffer) linger deep in both

We are HUGE, vital & diverse..all faiths/colours/genders/age & mixed disabilities

Shame on both

[Flick Williams @flickhwilliams]

This disabled man has given up waiting for @CityofYork to spend its BSIP money providing seating /shelter at bus stops. He told me he can walk but cannot stand & his wife (out of shot) carries the chair which is the only way they can take the bus.

No one dreams of needing benefits but equally, there is no reason receiving them should mean losing dignity. It’s been a political choice for the Tories to make disabled and low paid people feel unworthy scroungers - just as Labour can choose to give them their dignity back.

🚨BREAKING!

"With so little real change on offer, Disabled people must unite and fight back."

As the election campaign rolls on, our campaigner, Mikey has written in @openDemocracy about the exclusion of Disabled people and our issues.

Unpaid carers, who provide high levels of care for sick, or disabled relatives and friends are more than twice as likely to suffer from poor health themselves.

Political leaders just aren't talking about the issues disabled people are facing. As Jameisha explains...

[We Care Campaign @WeAreCarers]

We’re campaigning for a reform of Carers Allowance and carers’ benefits . Carers Allowance is the lowest benefit of it’s kind, at £81.90 a week.

This General Election, we need to #valuecarers. We need benefits that allow us to survive. #GE2024

Keir Starmer has said that 'handouts from the state' do not offer the same 'dignity' as working for a wage.

1.5m people provide 50+ hours of unpaid care each week, without which our health & care systems would collapse. The next Government must invest in social care so everyone can access the support they need.

[Chloe Schendel-Wilson @ChloeSWilson]

I am pleased that we were able to influence the Government to reinstate the funding scheme for disabled candidates.

It was the top agenda item in the Government’s Disability Action Plan.

There is much more to be done still. Thanks to all the partners we have worked with so far.

[Inclusion London @InclusionLondon]

Nearly two years ago the Government committed to building more accessible homes. We're still waiting.

Come to our meeting to help plan how to put pressure on the Government to make new build homes accessible!

Online, Thursday 6 June 11am-1pm.

Only 7% of housing is accessible, leaving millions of Disabled people living in homes not fit for purpose!
Ask your #election candidates how they will address the housing crisis for Disabled people!

[Inclusion London @InclusionLondon]

But @wesstreeting as you know full well Labour councils are not only charging disabled people for crucial social care but also siphoning off their welfare benefits to do so. Pushing many into ill health, poverty, and debt.

Will Labour commit to scrapping social care charges?
