"If you are feeling like a failure because you are unable to accomplish something due to health issues, poverty, or even lack of time and energy remember that you did not fail. The system failed you! You are NOT a failure. We should have a system that supports people that are struggling, not one that leaves them to drown and then labels it an individual failure to distract from the fact that the system is built to benefit the few at the expense of the many."

Isolation is too common in the disability community — but it doesn’t have to be that way. Joni Eareckson Tada’s Newsweek piece shows how connection, purpose and inclusive community create belonging.

During National Preparedness Month, you shared your questions about disability and disaster planning.

We turned them into an Extended FAQ, because real preparedness means centering real experiences.

What else are you wondering?

#DisabilityInclusion #EmergencyPreparedness
Slide 1: The slide reads, “Extended FAQs: September’s National Preparedness Month Most Asked Questions” with The Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies logo and a wheelchair user icon. Slide 2: The slide asks, “How do I store water when I can’t lift or carry heavy gallons?” The answer explains that you can use smaller bottles, collapsible containers, or water pouches, and store them near your bed or mobility devices. It suggests asking friends, neighbors, or local groups for help. Slide 3: The slide asks, “What if my insurance only lets me get 30 days of medication at a time?” The answer explains that you can request a 90-day supply if possible, ask about emergency override exceptions, and keep an updated medication list and a go kit with your information. Slide 4: The slide asks, “What if I don’t have people nearby I can count on in an emergency?” The answer explains that you can connect with mutual aid groups, Independent Living Centers, or local disability organizations, use SOS phone apps, and keep an ID, medications, and device chargers in a small kit.

Dear London. I appreciate step free access, but as its there for the disabled, why do we have to walk God knows how much further to access it? It rather defeats the object! #disabilityinclusion #disabled #DisabilityAwareness

One of the tragedies with human civilisation has been to see people with disabilities as pitiable tragic victims who should adjust to the world around them. The need is to address social exclusion instead.

Inaccessibility isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a form of violence that cuts deep, creating wounds that go unseen but are deeply felt.

Every barrier is a reminder that society wasn’t built for us — and that hurts.
