We held a press event today to call on all those people living with a Disabilty and those caring to vote @catherinegalway no.1 in the upcoming presidential election.

One of our members has been made homeless, with his power chair and belongings thrown out. He is unable to register as homeless or for emergency accommodation. Help needed urgently, please share
One of our members, Savas, came home to find all his stuff thrown out, incl. his powerchair: his supposed landlord was illegally subletting. He is now homeless but nowhere will register him as homeless for emergency accommodation as he has a migrant Stamp 2... (1/2)

Well that was a mad busy year! So much achieved, so much fighting done, so much more to do. Sophia, her Dad and Sean have been non stop but many others have been too. We have built a mighty community of activists fighting for our human rights. This is but a short insight into last years activism. The rest was very much needed and we will be getting back to it in the new year in the meantime thanks to everyone for all the support over the past 6yrs and the fight goes on!!!!! We deadicate this to Granny Mulvany. A year gone yesterday we miss her so much! ❤️ @adayinmywheels @TomClonan @DisabilityFed @_DPIreland @NeuroPrideIRL @InclusionIre @IrishWheelchair @TheNewReview2 @MaryLouMcDonald @RBoydBarrett @susdennehy @emmawardjourno @liamcunningham1 @centralremedial @LeCheileDND @mulvanypeopleb1 @niamhnih @UnaKeightley @Stephen63224725 @AilbheConneely @PresidentIRL @Trickstersworld @hopkins_joan @samanthaofl @struggleiswheel If we missed you sorry, we could only add so much!!!! ♿️♿️♿️♿️

“We remember so many of our peers that can’t be here today” Dr Rosaleen McDonagh @paveebeoir says many disabled people feel devalued by a society where violence and abuse is an ongoing reality 💜✊
