Masking is access. Silence is exclusion. A thread. 🧵 On Aug 13, London Reproductive Justice & COVID-Safer London contacted Take Back the Night London to ask for a “masks requested” policy; a basic access measure for disabled, chronically ill & immunocompromised community members.

Reminder: Counter-Protest is Tomorrow!
We’ll be standing in solidarity at Wellington & Commissioners this Sun., Oct. 5, 1–3 PM to oppose the Life Chain.
This is a masked event, because care is collective.

If you’re on ODSP & fall in love, you risk losing ur benefits if ur partner earns ‘too much.’ PWD shouldn’t have to choose between survival & ❤️.
U shouldn’t have to give up security/dignity/independence just because you’re in a relationship. The policy is discriminatory & harmful. It needs to end.

Poverty is not a moral failure. It’s a policy failure.
People living in poverty are often blamed for their reproductive decisions — for having “too many kids,” for seeking abortion, for needing support. 1/2

Reproductive justice isn’t just about the right to choose, it’s about the right to thrive. That means safe housing, liveable income, food security, & healthcare.
If people are forced to parent (or not parent) because they’re poor, that’s not freedom.
No bodily autonomy without economic autonomy.

🌈♿ July is Disability Pride Month ♿🌈
Disability Pride isn’t just about celebration (though the 2SLGBTQIA+ community deserves to celebrate their brilliance, creativity, and resilience). It’s also about resistance—especially in a world that continues to leave disabled people behind.

🚨 LHSC is suing for $60M over an alleged fraud scheme. Furious doesn’t even begin to cover it. That’s money that should’ve gone to patients—like me — stuck in diagnostic backlogs & endless delays.

Back @ St. Joe’s today. It’s amazing that we’re almost 5 yrs into a pandemic & some folks still don’t know how to don a mask properly. *Hint, it doesn’t help u or anyone else if you’re wearing your baggy blue below your nose. 👃🏼😷

I recently called an eye clinic at St. Joseph’s Hospital, #LdnOnt, to ask for a disability accommodation—staff wearing N95s during my care, since I’m immunocompromised.
They said masks aren’t “mandated” and they could refuse.
Let’s be clear:
➡️ Mask mandates ≠ disability rights.

Do you know what feels really good? Going to the doctor’s office & saying “no thank you” when the nurse asks if she can get your weight. And, she says simply, “okay” & doesn’t make a big deal about it.
You can also say that you prefer to speak to the Dr. first, or ask for a note in your chart …1/2
