🇪🇺#LeaveNoOneBehind♿️ Marking the Int. Day of #PersonsWithDisabilities, the #EU in #Kosovo & HANDIKOS reviewed 3 years of joint support for women & girls with disabilities.
EU-backed policy papers in 12 🇽🇰 municipalities will help enhance protection & empowerment of #PWDs.
Who’d have thought that privatisation would be a fuck up #SDS #PwDs #FourCorners
Because, as they say, #PWDs are the most adaptable people you’ll ever meet. People with disabilities don’t have a choice.

I’m looking to try something different, I want to raise $2,000 by 2025-06-17 for my #Birthday Fundraiser, I will donate 50% of whatever I raise to help other #PWDs on social media, 10% to charity, & the rest to me but only for necessities. Can you help? #ODSP

A minister focused solely on disability and inclusion would help drive change more effectively and ensure accountability across all levels of government.
Please consider adding this very important Ministry to your cabinet.

If we don’t prioritize this, we’re signaling that their concerns aren’t worth a seat at the table. #canpoli #pwds @mark-carney.bsky.social
@mark-carney.bsky.social The absence of a ministry or minister focused on disability inclusion represents a structural weakness in your govt’s approach to equity & social justice. It is also a missed opportunity to lead by example on inclusive governance in Canada and globally. #canpoli #pwds
So there's no ministry/minister responsible for people with disabilities and disability inclusion? That's really disappointing. Did I miss something? Who will oversee the Canada Disability Benefit and insure #PWDs are not left behind? #CDB #Disability #DisabilityInclusion @mark-carney.bsky.social
Priorities I hope this new gov't will address:
✅️Electoral reform: proportional representation
✅️Affordable Housing
✅️Creation of a Ministry for Disabilities & stronger support for #PWDs
✅️Implementation of universal basic income

People with #disabilities — #pwds — always seem to be the first group of citizens to have benefits denied.
We also face losing #SocialSecurity and #Medicare, or #Medicaid.

Useful:
▪️ Huge #T2D population who’ll be using #CGMs
▪️ #PwDs & #HCPs who don’t know how to read AGP graphs

Or when talking about the involvement of all the stakeholders, ‘users’ - aka #PwDs - are mentioned at the very last 🫣

The path to disability employment starts with clear intentions. Diversity Equity Inclusion. Disability and Health Journal.
Better employment outcomes for #PWDs might start with better #DEI statements. Learn more about what DEI intentions can do to support people with disabilities: buff.ly/41nSUKe

It is imperative that the House and the Senate do not cut #Medicaid, which provides #PWDs the healthcare coverage to live independently.

Fact #1. It is a key source of health coverage for 15 MIL #PWDs, (covering 35% of our community). Only 33% of #PWDs have health insurance through work (employment rates are lower overall). Medicaid fills a critical gap.
Medicaid supports independent living and healthy lives for 15 million people with disabilities. Logo - American Association on Health and Disability.
A recent House budget proposal aims to cut $880 billion in costs through 2034 which will most likely come from #Medicaid. This will directly affect 15 million #PWDs who rely on Medicaid as their primary source of coverage.
Here's why Medicaid matters to the disability community.

Bonnie Crombie and her Liberals wants to double the #ODSP rates. It's about gd time. #PWDs & disability advocates in ON have been asking for this for yrs.

It's about time! Advocates and persons with disabilities have been yelling at the top of their lungs to double #ODSP for years. If true, this would be a significant change in the lives of #PWDs!
I'm disgusted by people who attribute me as a parasite if they think I'm on #ODSP (because I am a PWD) but praise me if they learn that I'm working.
You're a eugenist, and you are in dire need of help. The bulk of volunteers (without whom society would crash) are composed of #PWDs who cannot work.

Do you remember being read to at a young age? I do & it was where I began to learn about the world around me. The one thing I didn't see was stories about #PWDs or #RareDiseases. As I grew up I became passionate about writing & knew I wanted to improve the... www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

Robert, #abelism is insidious. Globally 16% of us #PWDs (people with disabilities). Any person can become disabled at any time.
People like to pretend that’s not possible.
We need more empathy and fewer eejits.
Thank you, Peter!
I appreciate that you make sure that #PWDs are accounted for in discussions of #SocialSecurity and #Medicare!

It won't surprise me at all if #pwds are left out AGAIN. It's tiring being #disabled as it is but having a government that doesn't care to help, makes things worse
I feel the same way. Tired of seeing #PWDs constantly being left behind to struggle, starve and suffer more and more with deteriorating health. DISABLED ppl are voters and we pay taxes too. We deserve to be included.
Heading back to Ottawa. This weeks committee meeting I am urging the Liberals and Conservatives to do what’s right and focus on affordable housing. Winter is coming and access to housing is a human right! #housing #seniors #pwds #disabilityrights
