The disability community is the the largest minority group in the country and often the most ignored. It’s also the only minority group you can join at any time. You can become disabled and most likely will with age. To care about the disability community is to care about your inevitable future.

“My 2023 open letter to the BBC about Question Time, read by more than 300,000 people in 144 countries, was widely reported in the media. It even informed questions posed to the BBC’s director general Tim Davie at a parliamentary select committee.”
