I’m planning on participating in BADD on May 1st, 2009. Will you join me?
Write a post on the subject of disability discrimination, disablism or ableism and publish it on May 1st – or as close as you are able. Podcasts, videocasts and on-line art are also welcome. You can cover any subject, specific or general, personal, social or political. In the previous three BADD, folks have written about all manner of subjects, from discrimination in education and employment, through health care, parenting, family life and relationships, as well as the interaction of disablism with racism and sexism. Every year I have been asked, so it’s worth saying; the discrimination experienced by people with mental ill health is disablism, so naturally such posts are welcome too.
I think I may write a post for this. Thanks for the heads up…I never heard of this before.
