We all need opportunities at work, but Disabled people are often denied them. If employers won't employ us and the Government endlessly threatens cuts, what can we do? Just throw us a ladder. Let's give everyone opportunities to build a career: buff.ly/s8zy8AF #OpportunitySecurityRespect

The Campaign for Disability Justice is part of a Deaf or Disabled People’s Organisation. That means we are run by and for Disabled people, and our carers, friends and allies. Our society should value Disabled people and invest in strong organisations run by and for us. #OpportunitySecurityRespect

The chance to live a fulfilling life matters to most of us, but Disabled people are facing barriers to that: jobs that turn us away, spaces we cannot access, and media stories encouraging hate. Let's build a world where every Disabled person is respected, and everyone can flourish buff.ly/X85O0mV

Everyone should have a chance to thrive, but many Disabled people looking for work are blocked by employers with outdated and frankly weird ideas about Disabled people. Campaign members have been telling the @hoccommittees.parliament.uk what needs to change: buff.ly/00CoBrm

So, a new Prime Minister. What would you tell him about Disabled people, and what he needs to prioritise?

Last month, 70 Disabled people shared their experiences of workplaces with the government. Find out what they said: www.campaignfordisabilityjustice.org.uk/flexible_wor...

Did you lose Universal Credit Health Element in the cuts? Last year Disabled people spoke out and saved PIP, but many lost essential UC support. @inclusionlondon.bsky.social wants to know about the impact this has had.

Inclusion London@inclusionlondon.bsky.social · 3w ago

We want to understand the impact that the the government's cuts to Universal Credit Health Element have had on Disabled people. Gathering this evidence will help to support our ongoing campaigning work. You can help by completing our survey, available in BSL & Easy Read: buff.ly/ZuIHGbP

When the government tried to cut PIP, Disabled people spoke up. They asked what we thought and 38,000 people told them. Their interim response shows we're being heard, but there's more to be done. See our response to the Timms interim review: buff.ly/uRRZyyE #OpportunitySecurityRespect

We all want the security of knowing we can provide for ourselves and our loved ones, but Disabled people in and out of work are struggling to cover everyday things. It’s time to make a world where everyone can thrive and feel secure: buff.ly/k81HMoi #OpportunitySecurityRespect

"It’s time for a reset. We need a society where politicians treat disabled people with respect." Our campaign's CEO said to Disability News Service on the Timms interim PIP report 🔗 buff.ly/c6Nw2Uc #OpportunitySecurityRespect

PIP is increasingly vital resource for disabled people but is ‘not fit for purpose’, says interim Timms Review report

Personal independence payment (PIP) is increasingly vital to disabled people to fill in the gaps caused by cuts to services, but there are “deep-rooted” problems with how it is delivered, an interi…

Equality and respect should be the heartbeat of society. But instead, politicians use Disabled people as scapegoats and PIP as a political football. It's time for a reset. Read our response to the Timms interim report: buff.ly/uRRZyyE #OpportunitySecurityRespect

WAMES joins the Campaign for Disability Justice each July to celebrate Disability Pride month and the work done to improve accessibility. There's a lot more to do to create a more equal world and ensure everyone is accepted for who they are. Together we can make a difference. tinyurl.com/2cvb4mw8

Your words are being heard by our government. This morning we gave evidence to the Timms review, about Disabled people in the UK, and how health is changing.

Happy Disability Pride Month! Here is to every Disabled person and ally making a more inclusive world, where everyone can thrive. #DisabilityPrideMonth #OpportunitySecurityRespect

Systems there to support people should help us, but government staff assessing Disabled people often seem like robots ticking boxes. The Work Capability Assessment is deeply flawed. Join the Campaign and help change it: buff.ly/mbPrwU3
