"Elki, must you make *everything* about disability?"

- yup! 💁‍♀️

Another day, another organisation that claims to be run for and by disabled people… with an accessibility overlay on their website. 🚩

Reason no. 272 that she doesn’t have her shoes on, even though it was time to leave 5 minutes ago:

“Everything I touch turns to cheese. I have ‘the cheese touch’.”

Yes @TangHallExplore! I love your new checkout machines! There’s space for my wheelchair so I can get right up to them! No more awkward shuffle and dropping books! A-whoop!!!

“And I love you, even though you’re not.”

Here is the graphic used by government to illustrate #DisabilityStrategy. Should we tell them, inclusive design would not need a ramp it would have a level threshold?

[Iggy Patel @Haloabletec]

Please support York, as it effects all, you may want to visit someday. More importantly if one council gets away with it just gives an excuse for others to follow. Disabled need to stand/sit together to get a strong voice.

[York Disability Rights Forum @YorkDRF]

Are you a business in the city centre? An ally of disabled people? We suggest you object to the footstreets proposals which will make it harder to disabled people to access your business. https://t.co/pHD4VSjgjN

"Whilst I'm proud to be disabled, it's hard to feel proud of being disabled and living in York, a city which seems to want to exclude disabled people at every turn." - Helen

All the information about the order to remove Blue Badge access to York city centre wasn’t actually available at the council offices, despite the council website insisting it was. It was also only published online on the 22nd of July. Will the deadline for objecting be extended?

[Community Voices York @VoicesYork]

@YorkDisability @erukidesu @YorkDRF @YorkAccessible To be clear, I specifically asked them to check for the statement of reasons when I realised it wasn't there, but I was assured I had been given all the documents they had about this order and told to email for anything further.

Looking for something to do this weekend? Why not object to @CityofYork’s discriminatory order to exclude many disabled people from the city centre. Fun for all the family! Here are some handy templates for you: https://t.co/7Z8gi5RwOM #LetsBeYork
